BUYcott Israel Alert: Support Ricky’s Beauty Supply Outlets

February 16th, 2010

BUYcott Israel member in New York City alerted us to a new anti-Israel campaign:

Code Pink have decided to pressure Ricky’s, a small New York chain store into discontinuing Ahava products from Israel. Time for an equal and opposite reaction. New Yorkers – time to go to Ricky’s and stock up on Ahava products. Tell the manager how much you love them. Email them and tell them not to give in to special interest bullying.

From Code Pink:

This Valentine’s Day, have a heart and join us sending a CODEPINK-style valentine to the president of Ricky’s NYC, a family-owned chain store here in New York City, to tell them ‘Stop carrying AHAVA cosmetics! AHAVA means love in Hebrew, but there is nothing loving about the company’s practices.’ Help put the pressure on Ricky’s to stop carrying the products and we can add it to the other successes from this campaign!
