The American Anti-Slavery Group (AASG) is a non-profit coalition of abolitionist organizations co-founded by Charles Jacobs, dedicated to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking through political activism. It focuses on raising awareness of chattel slavery, particularly in Mauritania and Sudan, while fundraising for relief and aid to enslaved populations and escaped slaves, and lobbying governments for stronger anti-slavery measures. AASG has been active in public campaigns highlighting human trafficking and slavery in conflict zones, collaborating with other human rights groups and leveraging media to pressure policymakers. While praised for spotlighting underreported atrocities, the organization has faced criticism for its methodologies and claims regarding slave numbers in Sudan during the early 2000s, amid broader debates on activism in humanitarian causes.
