Comic Creators Participate in National Human Trafficking Awareness Day
(December
1, 2011, Columbus OH) Comic Creators For Freedom announced today that
the prep work for their third annual fundraiser against Human
Trafficking Awareness has begun. Each year comic creators (web and
print) collaborate to create an image that is available in both digital
and print formats. This year’s theme is the “Epic Snowball Fight”.
Poster prints will be available from all three fundraising campaigns. As
always, the image will be available digitally in exchange for
donations. The donation drive starts on January 9th to coincide with
National Human Trafficking Awareness Day which is January 11, 2012. The
drive ends Friday January 20, 2012. The official website for the drive
is
www.comiccreatorsforfreedom.com. Artists who wish to participate must submit artwork by the end of the year and can contact organizer Lora Innes at
comics4freedom@gmail.com.Th
is years returning artists already include Danielle
Corsetto (Girls with Slingshots), Crystal Yates (Earthsong), Scott
Christian Sava (The Dreamland Chronicles), and Thom Zahler (Love and
Capes).
This annual drive has raised over $15,000 to the
cause with over 100+ creators helping in the event. Organizer and award
winning creator, Lora Innes states, “ Human Trafficking has reached
seriously dangerous proportions and it is one of the top 3 crimes
globally falling right under drugs and guns. 80% of victims are women
and 50% are kids. This is movie level evil and it’s happening right
now. Comics are often about heroes of all shapes and sizes and the
ordinary person doing the extraordinary. Be the hero in this and participate in the drive.”
