If you’ve been following the Ralph Lauren Boycott on here and want to help with this cause, I strongly encourage you to join the Facebook Group: Boycott Ralph Lauren. Their goal is to reach 100,000 members/fans by Friday to prove to RL that there is support for this cause in huge numbers. As Darryl says,
“This boycott isn’t about Ralph Lauren per se’, (even though his recent ads are the worse I’ve seen) it’s about the entire industry. If Ralph Lauren buckles from all of the publicity and grassroots support that we mount, we’ll send a message to the entire industry that we’ve had enough.”
If you’ve ever looked at a magazine, a TV commercial, an internet ad, anything in the media that has made you doubt your own beauty, you need to sign up for this. We need change in America, we need images that reflect real women. This isn’t about RL products, it’s about the images they chose to impose on women to feel bad about themselves. If you’ve ever had issues with body image, please sign up. Let’s take them down. Let’s make a new face for women in society, one that shows real beauty, not a stick figure. I also suggest that you sign up for the newsletters that Darryl Roberts sends out (which is some of the information that I’ve been posting here) for the full behind the scenes details and what we can do as a collective group for change. Simply email boycottralph@americathebeautifuldoc.com to be added to the list. The most recent newsletter came out today, it’s very lengthy so I won’t post it all but it has some important information in it.
If you want to read even more about this movement, you can read about it in The Huffington Post (which has spread to other news resources as well!).
