Comics for a cause

This morning as I was reading my favorite webcomic, the artist brought to my attention a very important project by the Comic Creator's Alliance, going on through January 24, 2010. In a nutshell, this is what these wonderful artists are doing:

There are currently 27 million enslaved people worldwide- more than double the number of enslaved Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. UNICEF estimates that 1.2 million children every year are sold into slavery, most of it sexual. The US Department of Justice estimates 16,000 victims of human trafficking are brought into the United States every year.

We're a group of Web Comic Creators, who have come together, volunteering our artistic talents to raise money for the purpose of ending human trafficking in the world today.

That is a big goal and an extremely worthwile cause! At last tally, over $5,000 had been raised! To find out more or to donate, visit the CCA website. (You also get a really cool wallpaper background for donating any amount.)

New item!

Really, I don't know what took me so long. I guess I thought everyone wanted hats and not mittens. Silly me! Anyway, LikeClochework is happy to offer the "Dorothy" mittens in a variety of colors and with your choice of needlefelted design. They are incredibly warm and can be made to match your LikeClochework hat.
