Sign up to receive tips on educating others and discouraging them from buying these costumes online.
Once you sign up: you’ll receive facts on cultural appropriation and tips for educating others about it.
You’ll also receive a list of snarky review texts to post on websites that are selling offensive costumes.
Then, you’ll take a screenshot of your review (make sure to use one from the list) and upload the picture to the page provided.
Each photo constitutes as an entry to win $3,000 in scholarship money! There are no limits to the comments and entries are unlimited. Also, there are no minimum GPA or essays required.
