The #HourPower results are in!

From Freedom United

Dear ieyenews readers,

Dear Colin,

Thank you, you’ve helped raise $14,652 in just 24 hours!

We’re delighted that so many of you joined our #HourPower challenge this Giving Tuesday and donated an hour of your hard-earned wages – some of you gave even more! Thank you for joining in and sharing the #HourPower challenge.

Our power is made possible because of our community’s action to end forced labor,[1] speak out against tainted palm oil[2]and advocate for much-needed support of survivors.[3]

These donations mean we can make use of digital technology and deploy the best minds in campaigning to bring our voices together and create power. This gives us the strength to secure change on anti-slavery campaigns like these, towards our shared vision of a slavery-free future.

Facebook has informed us that the matched donation report from their Giving Tuesday pledge[4] will not be available until January. We’ll let you know when we have more details.

A huge thank you for being part of our community.

Let’s end modern slavery together.

In solidarity,

Allan, Joanna, Miriam and the Freedom United team
