American Anti-Slavery Group

The 'American Anti-Slavery Group (AASG) "is a U.S.-based non-profit dedicated to the abolition of modern day slavery. While many believe that the slave trade ended some time ago, there are still over 27 million people held in bondage today."

AASG was founded in the home of president and founder Dr. Charles Jacobs, who is perhaps better known for his advocacy of hardline pro-Israel positions and his founding role in The Israel Project.
