Use the Recruitment Graphics in our downloadable Advocate Resources to announce your participation in the style challenge and guide folks through the process of joining your Dressember Canada team.
FUNDRAISING
Educate your community and raise awareness during the month of December with our intersectional stats on human trafficking. We even wrote captions that you can post alongside the stat graphics for all 31 days of Dressember! Share Dressember Canada’s impact with your friends and followers and keep them updated on your Dressember goal! We have both square graphics + graphics formatted for IG stories available to download. Find all this and more in our downloadable Advocate Resources.
