Fairplay for women - incredibly successful campaign, could they do more?

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 15/09/2018 21:55

apparently the campaign material has been flying off the shelves. i ordered mine a week ago and haven't received it yet due to the level of demand.

i understand that they have started a further fund raising campaign to do more. they're 20% of the way to their target already

obviously i won't link here as fundraising on MN would get the thread deleted

but if you google fairplay for women crowdfunder it's among the top results if you are interested

any stories of campaigning you'd like to share? I won't be able to do it until next week now

Linda Bellos campaign is closed! they raised twice their target, so no more funds needed Smile

turns out there are some amazing (and generous) people out there

If people are donating, please could I nudge them towards Linda Bellos too, many thanks Smile

The comments show how much people care about this campaign. Here's a few:

Can’t think of a better investment for my daughter, thanks for all you do

Thank you for leading the way in the UK. Many in the United States are watching to learn and taking heart from your sensible courage.

Thank you for co-ordinating a grassroots movement to resist the taking away of hard-won rights. Now, let's mobilise the public with these well-thought-out, professional materials. Onwards!

Beautiful well done, that sounds like a great plan. I've been sharing the campaign with friends, family and acquaintances, and they've all been really receptive. And lots have gone on to share with other people, and the information spreads...

Voice0fReason · 16/09/2018 22:53

Will make a donation tomorrow.
They are doing an amazing job

Beautifulday49 · 16/09/2018 22:09

I got my pack last week, but don't know any other GC people in my area (north Lancs) so am just going to give the flyers & cards out when I can, e.g. at work. I was at an exhibition thing yesterday and gave one to an older woman on 1 of the stands. It was my little bit of fightback & felt great. The materials/campaign are excellent & I will donate again when I can.

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 16/09/2018 22:02

£4,020! They're doing brilliantly!

I've been out leafleting too. People are really receptive.

So close to £4K!

bzzbeebzz · 16/09/2018 21:53

Donated

Thanks for not reminding me

it's ordinary, every day people who feel strongly enough to put their hand in their pocket

YY to this.

I earn about £15k (part time, to fit with school hours). I have two kids and no savings at all. I could do with a new wardrobe and a haircut but it's never the top priority.

But I'm going to put £20 in come payday and I've been out handing out flyers.

This is important. I know that £20 I put in will by hundreds of flyers, and each of them could mean another person finding out about this and standing against it.
