We’re proud to highlight a powerful new publication from our Friends Fund partner, The Mekong Club. Awakening the Advocate, written by CEO Matt Friedman, is a deeply personal and inspiring call to action in the fight against modern slavery.

Through stories of transformation and purpose, the book reminds us that anyone—regardless of background—has the ability to create meaningful change. It shines a light on the urgent need to combat human trafficking while offering hope for a more just future.

Even more impactful: 100% of proceeds from book sales go directly toward efforts to combat human trafficking. By supporting this work, readers are not only engaging with an important story—they’re contributing to real, on-the-ground change.
