The Elizabeth Heyrick Society

Abolitionist, philanthropist and campaigner

Elizabeth Heyrick’s (1769–1831) groundbreaking pamphlet, “Immediate, not Gradual Abolition,” shook the foundations of injustice, demanding an end to the chains of slavery. Heyrick’s unwavering passion and bold defiance resonate today, inspiring a new generation to confront systemic oppression and fight for equality. Her legacy fuels the ongoing struggle for justice and liberation, reminding us that the fight against injustice is as urgent and relevant now as it was in her time.

The Elizabeth Heyrick Society is dedicated to preserving the legacy of Elizabeth Heyrick, a trailblazer for justice and compassion. Through a permanent memorial and educational initiatives, we aim to inspire future generations to champion these values.
