Chicago! Here is your opportunity to help support Frannie Richards and send a message to H&M that racism and discrimination at their stores will not be tolerated. During a recent visit to the store at Magnificent Mile, Frannie encountered an employee who called her a "mail-order bride," made fun of her ability to understand English, and did the mocking "ching chong" thing to her. I'm sorry, but what the hell is wrong with peple like this?
There will be a protest this Saturday, October 6, 10:00am-11:00am, outside the H&M store on 840 North Michigan Ave. Please gather for a peaceful and informative march. If you'd like to participate, and want more information, contact the point person at charlenehaze@gmail.com. They specifically need folks to help direct movement, work with media, be responsible with signs and chants, distribute flyers and generally give H&M some hell. Be there, and tell them what's up.
