Jayde Bradley, Walk Free jayde@walkfree.org via server8839.e-activist.com 11:43 AM (7 hours ago) to me Dear Peter, Today is the day we met with Daewoo to hand in your petition signature, along with over 228,425 others, and call on the company to help end modern slavery in Uzbekistan’s cotton fields. We'll be in touch with a full update soon -- in the meantime, can you show your support for ending forced labour in the Uzbek cotton industry by changing your Facebook and Twitter profile pictures to our #EndCottonSlavery image? This will help us generate even more attention for the message that we delivered to Daewoo today -- that the company must use its influence as a huge customer for Uzbek cotton to help end this modern slavery. If you’re not on Facebook or Twitter, no problem -- we’ll be back in touch with more details of our activities today and next steps for the campaign soon! In solidarity, Jayde, Amy, Mich, Joanna and the Walk Free team P.S. We’re sorry for the very brief message -- we’re still really busy keeping the pressure up on Daewoo! We’ll share an update on how it all went as soon as we can -- while you wait, please help spread the word by updating your Facebook and Twitter profile picture, with just one click! Walk Free is a movement of people everywhere, fighting to end one of the world's greatest evils: Modern slavery.
