About IJM
Over nearly 30 years, IJM has been brought freedom and justice to hundreds of thousands of people trapped in slavery and violence, and protected 10 million from ever being abused in the first place. Now, over the next four years we’re continuing to work together to build a foundation of freedom and protection at a pace and scale the world has never seen before. Our vision is to bring freedom to 1 million more people trapped in slavery and violence, protect 300 million and make justice unstoppable.

Hear from Cornerstone Attendees
“There is something so unique about this weekend—being able to come together with kindred spirits who are fully in the fight with IJM. Being in this room and hearing testimonies from survivors and people who are out in the field firsthand is unmatched."
- Meredith Nonnenberg
“We got the chance to meet other people who were directionally aligned with us, and that opportunity to learn together was really powerful. It began to feel like one big team where each of us has a part to play. You can be confronted with the difficult things happening in the world—real, tangible stories—and then see that there is a solution that brings a lot of hope to a lot of people."
- Paul and Lissa Carter
“At Cornerstone, there's this amazing assortment of deeply substantive, faithful, and mission-driven people—something you simply cannot find in any other context. What IJM is doing is the most holy and historic work for the sake of justice in my lifetime, and you don't want to miss being a part of it."
