Comic Creator’s Alliance

January 15th, 2010 by Sarah Winifred Searle

I forgot to update when it first went live, the Comic Creator’s Alliance went live this past Monday! If you missed my first entry about it, it’s a collaboration of something like 87 different cartoonists, their female characters appearing on a downloadable wallpaper that you can access if you donate toward organizations working to end human trafficking.

“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.”

Definitely a worthy cause! I didn’t contribute because my comic wasn’t live at that point, but I donated and now proudly sport my shiny new desktop! Even if all you have is a couple bucks, every little bit counts.

Also, I put another page up at Under the Apple Tree and anticipate another soon. The update schedule will probably consist of pages being posted as they’re finished, but I’ll do an “official” update on Wednesdays and maybe another day of the week so no one misses any pages.

Lora Innes of The Dreamer is organizing the Comic Creators Alliance Benefit to spread awareness and raise money for National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. She’s getting together webcomic artists from around the world to collaborate on an image that will be available as a downloadable wallpaper for anyone who donates something to the cause.

I don’t have my comic up yet so I won’t be participating, but I thought I’d spread the word anyway!
