START A REVOLUTION
stop hating your body
"Start a
revolution. Stop hating your body." is an attempt to raise
awareness about the vast array of problems that stem from body
consciousness and lack of esteem including, but not limited to:
anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, body dysmorphic disorder,
binge eating disorder, depression, and general dissatisfaction.
Furthermore we acknowledge that society today has constructed a
multi-billion dollar industry designed to perpetuate the desire
for unattainable beauty while capitalizing on products for
self-improvement. Our mission is to end corporate dominance over
body esteem. Participants in "Start a revolution"
realize that our bodies are nothing to be ashamed of and we
shouldn't have to spend our lives fixing what society tells us is
inadequate. All that we ask is that you wear the shirt with pride
and refuse to feel ashamed of your body. Additionally, we hope
that you will send us a photograph of your beautiful self in your
shirt. (Digital photos can be sent to
TheBodyRevolution@yahoo.com, or post it here on facebook; if you
don't have a digital camera contact one of the founders to give
us a hard copy.) We demand an end to the corporate monopolization
of body aesthetic standards. You are not the number on the tag of
your clothing.
