Win! After over 84,000 people signed Julia’s petition and she and her fellow SPARK Summit activists hand-delivered the petitions to the executive editor of Seventeen, the magazine has made a commitment to not alter the body size or face shape of the girls and models in the magazine and to feature a diverse range of beauty in its pages.
Julia’s message to all her supporters: ”Seventeen listened! They’re saying they won’t use photoshop to digitally alter their models! This is a huge victory, and I’m so unbelievably happy. Another petition is being started by SPARK activists Emma and Carina, targeting Teen Vogue and I will sign it. If we can be heard by one magazine, we can do it with another. We are sparking a change!” To sign Emma and Carina’s petition, which asks Teen Vogue to follow in Seventeen’s footsteps and make the vow not to alter girls, go to www.change.org/teenvogue
Nice victory for 8th grader Julia Bluhm and all women and girls!!
