Boycott Hershey’s: A Week of Action
Join us for a worldwide week of action to raise awareness about the Hershey’s Boycott. With protests in New York City, Pennsylvania, Mexico City, and New Delhi, India this week, is the time to raise your voice against Hershey’s HIV discrimination.
This boycott is the result of growing outrage over a Hershey Co. funded-school, Milton Hershey School, for denying admission to a 13-year-old boy due to his HIV-positive status. Citing the boy as a direct threat to the “health and safety” of other students, AIDS activists around the world are outraged with this decision and are boycotting all Hershey products until the company does the right thing and denounce
s its discrimination.
