Help us help people gain Freedom From Polygamy
Polygamy-based religious groups control the lives of tens of thousands of people in and around Utah. Some members want to escape but can’t do it without help. Often they have no friends or relatives outside of the group, leaving them completely alone with no one to turn to. They don’t have control over their finances, weren’t given good educations, and sometimes don’t even have basic documents like driver’s licenses , birth certificates, or social security numbers that are needed to get jobs in the outside world.
The Salt Lake Chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, with a financial boost from the national FFRF office, is raising funds to help people gain freedom from oppressive polygamous groups. We’ve partnered with Holding Out Help, a Salt Lake based organization that has been assisting people to leave polygamous cultures since 2008. Thousands of clients have successfully escaped from polygamy thanks to the good work of Holding Out Help. Details of what they do can be found on their website, HoldingOutHelp.org .
From now through the end of August, the Salt Lake Chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRFSLC) will donate a dollar for every dollar that you give to Holding out Help, up until our available funds run out. In order for your donation to qualify for these matching funds, use this custom FFRFSLC fundraising campaign webpage on the Holding Out Help website, https://holdingouthelp.networkforgood.com/events/88999-freedom-from-religion-foundation-matching-campaign .
