As the owner of Be a Seed for Change,

My mission is to bring real attention to issues on both the local and national level. I feel a strong sense of responsibility to not just raise money but also join other grassroots organizations to bring real change to the lives of the people in communities who just need a hand up not a hand out… giving back

I have been an activist for years. I am also a blogger of social and political issues. Was one of several parents who volunteered at our local food bank in association with our daycare provider, which led to starting a food bank drive at a job. I have also supported and raised money for great organizations that do amazing things like Shelter Box USA.

Act Now: Demand an end to deforestation at Ralph Lauren

09/26/2015 Nativegrl77

This past September, we launched the Out of Fashion campaign, urging fifteen major fashion brands to make sure that their fabrics don’t contain forest destruction and human rights abuses. For years, this controversy had gone unnoticed — but not any more!

Thousands of you signed the petition, stickered controversial products and sent tweets during Fashion Week. While some brands are starting to respond, some of the worst companies have not taken action.

As of today, we’re focusing on the most famous, and most destructive, laggard in the industry: Ralph Lauren.

Ralph Lauren is an iconic brand with a huge reach. It has the power to eliminate controversial fiber and suppliers, such as Sateri and Royal Golden Eagle Group. And if Ralph Lauren steps up, other brands will follow.

We are going to be building this campaign over the next few months, but today, we have a super-quick action for you to take: email Ralph Lauren and ask the company to protect forests and human rights by tracing its supply chain, eliminating the worst actors, and adopting a policy. It only takes a moment and together, we can make our voices heard.

Thank you so much for all you do.
