Tell Legislators: Don't Turn School Buses Into Traveling Billboards

Faced with budget shortfalls, many states are considering overturning long-standing laws that prohibit advertising on school buses, which could transform them into traveling billboards for everything from fast food to violent and sexualized media. While we're enormously concerned about the financial plight of schools, commercializing our children’s education is not the answer. That’s why we’ve created the School Bus Ad Action Center where you can urge your legislators to oppose this commercial escalation. Take action> | Learn more>

Save the Lorax

The powerful message of conservation in Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax is in danger of being crushed by a real-life landslide of corporate greed. Corporate partnerships for the Lorax movie promote everything from Mazda’s CX-5 SUV to IHOP pancakes to Pottery Barn Kids furniture. Please stand up to those who have hijacked the Lorax’s message and pledge to shun all of the movie’s cross-promotions. Take action > | Learn more > | Read the press release >
