“Friends” co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox have teamed up to head a campaign to fight for women’s rights in the Congo.

They are supporting OmniPeace, an humanitarian fashion brand, which aims to stop violence against women in Congo. Mary Fanaro, the woman who runs the fashion brand, is a friend to both Aniston and Cox.

Cox said, “OmniPeace was created to give back. I can’t think of a better way to support my best friend and all the work that she and OmniPeace do to donate to causes supporting peace, education, human rights and the end of extreme poverty by 2025. Mary’s passion is so contagious and wonderful. It has taught me that anything is possible with enough perseverance and tenacity.”

Actor Peter Facinelli is putting his Twitter account to work. The Twilight star is twittering to inform his many followers about the importance of charity.

In June, Facinelli made a bet with his friend, Rob DeFranco: If Facinelli could secure 500,000 Twitter followers; he would get a $10,000 donation and the opportunity to see a bikini clad DeFranco run down Hollywood Boulevard. Facinelli won the bet and with the aid of a friend from Affliction Clothing, donated $10,000 to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

Facinelli attributes his charitable success to the power of Twitter. He affirms “[Twitter]… is a very powerful tool… All these people came together on Twitter for this silly, little thing, but imagine what we could do if we come together for something even more powerful.”
