A letter from Blythe at the end of Dressember 2019

 

Dear Advocates,

Wow! As we wrap up Dressember 2019, I'm amazed by the impact of this community -- together, we raised over $2.5MM!

This is the most we've ever raised as a collective, and it will allow us to continue to make an even bigger impact in the fight to end human trafficking.

Since 2013, Dressember advocates like you have raised over $10MM USD toward this fight. We've been able to help tens of thousands of people through rescue and intervention programs, and potentially millions through our prevention partnerships.

Year after year, you've shown up to be part of this fight, and you are changing the world.

As we launch into a new decade, many of you have asked for ways to advocate for freedom throughout the year.  It's for this reason that we've made a big decision regarding Dressember advocacy: The Dressember 2020 campaign is now open! 

For the first time ever, Dressember advocates can create a page for 2020 early, and any donations they make or receive to their page all year will count toward their Dressember campaign.

Many of you already host 5Ks, bake sales, or other events, or use your birthday as a chance to fundraise, and now all your efforts outside of our traditional campaign months will show on your page. 

If the idea of fundraising all year is daunting to you, I get it; no need to pressure yourself to be asking for donations all year-- your page will simply be there for you if or when you want it.

Whether you're ready to dive in and dedicate a birthday/anniversary/holiday or unsure where to start, commit to the fight for freedom by creating a page today.

I've never been more proud or more excited to be in this fight with an incredible community of people like you. Here's to 2020 getting us one step closer to a truly free world!

With gratitude,

Blythe
