Dear
Mr. Schottenstein,
I
have been a loyal American Eagle customer for many years. When I recently had a
baby and needed a whole new wardrobe in my new size, who did I turn to but the
store I had worked at as a teenager. I recently started a fashion blog and have
been featuring many pieces from the AEO collection. I've been tagging you on
Instagram and linking you on my blog.
However,
on Friday, January 20, I was saddened to see a post from AEO on Instagram
supporting the Women's March as part of your "We all can" campaign. I believe in
free speech and the right to a peaceful protest. However, when a retail company
supports a particular political affiliation or belief set, I have to start
examining my connection to and promotion of that brand.
