Abstract
End It With Art (EIWA) is a nonprofit concept that merges the artist community with the social justice initiative of human trafficking. EIWA is an online platform for artists and creatives to donate their work to be purchased through the site. With every purchase, 20% of the profits go to support The Demand Project, an anti-trafficking organization in Tulsa, Oklahoma. EIWA is intended to (1) inform others about the issue of human trafficking, (2) inspire others to be a catalyst for change, and (3) empower others to become the solution by giving them an avenue to do so.
