Abstract:

Area residents held a protest outside of Urban Outfitters in Durham. The protest was held in response to the company’s marketing strategies and the demographic they sell to. Amy Lambert led the protest saying that the company encourages women to eat less to fit into their clothing. The image the company suggests women should fit encourages eating disorders and unhealthy living.
