Buy a gift and support Collective Shout: 24 hours only!

Melinda Tankard Reist Add comments

Starts Thursday 8th November, 12am – 12 midnight

As a non-profit movement, our friends at Gifted Hands have generously offered to support us by donating all online sales made tomorrow to us!

Gifted Hands sells environmentally friendly bags, scarves, jewellery and other items, supporting projects benefiting women and girls around the world.

Check out the online store here. If you like what you see and would like to support Collective Shout, here’s what you can do:

1. Tomorrow, visit www.giftedhands.com.au

2. Place an order anytime tomorrow and Collective Shout will receive 100% of the proceeds.

3. Share this email with your friends and networks and invite them to take part.

This is a great opportunity to get in early for some Christmas gifts – but remember, the offer is only available Thursday November 8, 12am until midnight! If you’re on Facebook, please join the event and share on your Facebook page too.

 

It is because of your support – both financial and through your activism – that Collective Shout has been able to achieve real change. During 2012 we have seen sexploitative ad campaigns halted and p*rnified products withdrawn from sale. But the success is not only in the products that have been withdrawn. Because of your willingness to speak out, our sources tell us that corporates have been turning away products before they even hit the shelves.

There has been much progress but we still have a long way to go. Supporting this fundraising initiative is one way that you can help Collective Shout to build on the success we’ve already seen.

If you don’t want to purchase any products but would like to donate to Collective Shout directly, you can make a donation here:

www.collectiveshout.org/donate

We are so grateful for your support. Thanks for being part of the ‘Collective’ in Collective Shout.
