About this Event
Each December, everyday advocates around the world dress up and do good—whether for one day, one week or all month long—to raise awareness and funds in the fight against human trafficking.
Join us for a kick off party to learn about what it looks like to participate in Dressember, and the work to end slavery that is fueled by this movement. The event will also include:
- Raffle prizes!
- Light snacks and drinks
- Free dress/tie exchange (optional to bring a dress or tie to donate for others to take home or pick one out to add to your Dressember closet)
- Resources for how to get involved
Supporting Dressember means funding IJM’s work to strengthen justice systems, bring criminals to justice, rescue and restore survivors and scale demand for protection. You can learn more about IJM and Dressember at https://dressember2026.funraise.org/
The event address will be shared after you sign up. We encourage you to wear a dress or tie to the kick off party to get excited for Dressember, but you are welcome to come however you choose to dress! Kids are also welcome at the attendees' discretion. There will be a brief IJM/Dressember overview that does generally address slavery.
*Can't make it to the event but want to support Dressember? You can still join our team or donate here: dressember2026.funraise.org/team/ijm-bay-area-east-bay
We would like to use photos from the event for publicity and share your email address with IJM headquarters for their records. If you’d like to opt out of either of these, just email us at [email protected].
