CAN’T MOVE FORWARDCAN’T GO BACK
Over 11 million refugees are stuck between point A and point B. They are individuals all with real lives that have been put on pause, waiting for a train to somewhere that keeps getting more and more delayed.
Our emblem is a hitchhiker’s thumb because it’s a sign of the hope that the refugees have—hope that strangers out of their own kindness will stop their own lives to help them.
THE TRAVELING THUMB
SWIPE TWICE FOR SOMEWHERE
We’re going to give refugees a somewhere by raising awareness and funds in public transit spaces where the destination is on the forefront of everyone’s minds.
Commuters donate a ‘fare’ to the refugees in need through The International Rescue Committee by double-scanning their public transit card at the turnstiles or at our ads on the platforms.
DESTINATION: NOWHERE OUTDOOR
Signs greet commuters at turnstiles in major cities across the world. All the commuter has to do is scan her card twice at the turnstile to send a ‘fare’ to a refugee family in need of transportation to their new home.
DESTINATION: NOWHERE OUTDOOR
Our Traveling Thumb shows commuters that machine in particular is accepting donations to the International Rescue Committee.
DESTINATION: NOWHERE OUTDOOR
We get that some people are too worried aboutcatching their train to stop at the turnstiles for a double scan. That’s why we put ads with built-in scanners on the platform. The busy commuter can now scan while she waits.
DESTINATION: NOWHERE SMS
For those who take the bus to work every day, we’re adding a notification to their regular bus tracker texts–whether they have a smartphone or not. Next time they are waiting for the 156 to come, they can also donate to our cause.
DESTINATION: NOWHERE DIGITAL
We don’t want to limit the campaign to the people who only travel by bus or rails. By partnering with Google Maps, we’ll autofill the destination with “Nowhere” so we can reach those who get to point B via other forms of transportation.
DESTINATION: NOWHERE DIGITAL
Now for the planes. We’ll also autofill the destinations on Kayak.com. Travelers can learn more and donate to the cause at checkout.
