For immediate release, April 29, 2008
[Boulder, CO] -- Mother's Acting Up, a nonprofit organization promoting
the welfare of children, is sponsoring a Girlcott of Rebecca's Herbal
Apothecary in downtown Boulder. Representatives from MAU will be
in the shop from 12:00pm to 2:00pm starting on Saturday, May 3 to
promote the Girlcott, which lasts all week. Rebecca will donate
10% of her proceeds on May 3 to MAU.
The Girlcott is part of MAU's Reclaim Mother's Day events and is
designed to promote the purchase of fair trade, organic or local
gifts for Mother's Day. A girlcott is the opposite of a boycott
in that it targets local businesses that support sustainability
and encourages people to shop there. Like a boycott, a Girlcott
uses economic strength to create change and awareness of social
problems.
"I am so excited to support Mother's Acting Up promote their
causes," says Rebecca Luna, owner of Rebecca's Herbal Apothecary.
"It is vital for mothers to realize how important they are
and how powerful they can be if they work together to make the world
a better place for our children."
Rebecca's has many locally-made and locally-grown gifts for Mother's
Day. Rebecca carries her own line of handmade body care products,
produced right in her shop. Mothers can be pampered with locally-made
lotions, bath salts, spritzers, body scrubs, massage oils, facial
toners or floral waters. Rebecca's also carries many locally-grown
herbs, which are perfect for making a Mother's Day tea or scented
sachet. In addition, the shop has a large selection of gifts made
by local artists and craftspeople, including cards and prints, aromatherapy
pillows, sweet grass braids, smudge sticks, beeswax candles, tinctures,
garden statues and more!
Mother's Acting Up is a movement of mothers who publicly and passionately
advocate for the world's children. Their Mother's Day events are
inspired by social activist and abolitionist Julia Ward Howe
whose "Mother's Day Proclamation" in 1870 was the first
call on mothers to unite for peace and justice and act for positive
social change.
Joellen Raderstorf, Director, Mothers Acting Up says the group
will be sponsoring other Mother's Day activities all week, culminating
in a parade on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 11.
