Who We Are
Every ONE Free is a faith-based, community group dedicated to eliminating human trafficking in Pomona and the Inland Valley by raising awareness, preventing exploitation and serving survivors.
We were formed in conjunction with Oasis USA and are a ministry of Purpose Church Pomona. Our motivation to abolish modern-day slavery comes from the example of Jesus who came to free the oppressed and give new life. Labor trafficking and the commercial sexual exploitation of children (sex trafficking) plagues our city. But we want this to end. Our vision is to see our city traffick free!
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. – Luke 4:18-19
