Hello,

Can you believe a company is Scottsdale is actually PUTTING ON a protest of the Arizona law?

1. Please email Roslyn Kagy at rally@lush.com and tell her that companies should NOT be political and should not be putting on protests! And that you will never buy their products again.

2. Since this is a franchise, please call & email the main US corporate office and let them know what this franchise store is doing since this reflects poorly on the brand name for the whole company!

Here is the email and phone # for the main US site: http://www.lushusa.com/customers/contact-us/

Here is the store in Arizona's website advertising the rally:

LUSH Scottsdale Protests SB 1070

WHEN: Monday, May 17, 2010 , 2:30 PM - 6:00 PM

WHERE: LUSH Scottsdale | 7014 E. Camelback Rd. #1020 | 480.946.5874

On Friday, April 23rd, Arizona Governor, Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 into effect, which has caused an international outpouring of responses. SB 1070 allows Arizona police officers to stop, interrogate, and detain anyone who appears to be an illegal immigrant. This has essentially legalized racial profiling and is an affront on our civil rights. LUSH wants The State of Arizona to clean up its act, stop SB 1070, and protect the human rights of all people. Scottsdale is the site of our May 2010 Managers Meetings. While many businesses are boycotting Arizona, LUSH was unable to change the location of our meeting. Instead, we are planning a rally to send the message to State of Arizona and nation that LUSH does not support SB 1070. We'll be sending a gigantic letter to the Governor and Obama expressing our opposition and celebrating LUSH as an international company for international customers (and run by international people). Support our campaign against SB 1070 and join us at the SE corner of Scottsdale Fashion Square on Monday, May 17th, between the hours of 2:30 and 6:00 pm, for our Clean Up Your Act, Arizona! rally. We'll be wearing shower caps and robes and shower curtain and bathtub sandwich boards, carrying protest placards, creating visual art and verbalizing key messages. We have signage, but please feel free to dress up, make signs, and express yourself in whatever way you choose. Please help us take a stand for human rights! For further information, please contact Roslyn Kagy at rally@lush.com.

And also be ashamed of themselves for wilfully mis-stating the content of the law.
Surely the company executives are able to read the English language. Or possibly not. There are none so blind as they who will not see. I’ve read that someplace; perhaps in the Holy Bible.

This company, LUSH, just went bankrupt here in Taiwan. It literally closed the doors without notice. The 'employees' promptly took all the remaining product in the store and 'sold' it outside on the street in front of the places. LUSH didn't pay them for a couple of weeks prior to doing this - Always blaming it on "headquarters" fouling up the pay monies.
LUSH is defunct here. Look for it to fail everywhere.
