A few weeks ago I listened to a Podcast (you can listen to it by clicking here) that opened my eyes to the major issue of slavery in the modern world. I thought slavery was something of the past, but that is not the case. This December I’m joining women and men from all over the world and participating in a Dressember campaign.
Every day this December I will be wearing a dress to bring awareness to this issue and also to learn more about the problem and how I can help. You can join me in this effort in a few ways too!
- Join our Pagosa in Petticoats team and start your own campaign by signing up and agreeing to wear a dress every day in December and help raise funds that the Dressember foundation will distribute to those in need through trusted non-profits like International Justice Mission.
- Donate through my Advocate Page.
- Let me borrow one of your dresses! I don’t have a huge dress collection. If you have a small dress laying around that you would like me to wear one day during the campaign, I would love to wear it!
- Be a learner! Follow along with the Dressember Blog to learn more about modern day slavery.
I’m not normally much of a dress wearer. In fact, when I first heard about Dressember I thought I’d really rather not wear a dress every day. Immediately my heart felt that pang of conviction. Wearing a dress every day for a month is a pretty small sacrifice compared to the suffering 40 million people are experiencing around the world right now! So, a few of my friends and I are going to do our small part to make a dent in something much bigger than ourselves. Please join us!
Follow me on Instagram or Facebook this month to see my outfits and to learn more about the slavery happening in our world today!
Much Love,
Denise
