The Transformative #MeToo Movement Named “Brand Of The Year” By SVA Masters In Branding

Over the course of 2018, the #MeToo Movement catalyzed change to dismantle shame surrounding sexual assault as survivors came forward to tell their stories. 

Perpetrators were held accountable and we witnessed the removals and resignations of everyone from high-powered executives to political figures and Hollywood producers. 

The collective force of #MeToo has forever transformed the cultural landscape of sexual violence against women.

Substantial change. Real results. Tangible impact. These are the notable markers of Brand of the Year, launched in 2017 by the The Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Chosen by the program's esteemed faculty who take a sweeping look at commerce and culture, Brand of the Year disrupts industry competitions that often require a complicated entry form and fees to complete. It requires no reach or effort by any brand to be considered.

The inaugural Brand of the Year in 2017 was the pink, cat-eared "pussyhat" that became the icon of the Women's March. It signified the potential of branding to reach beyond the commercial and be democratized—truly by the people for the people. 

In the same spirit, #MeToo, which began as a grassroots movement, has now circled the globe to unite people behind one cry and cause. This is the highest calling of branding: to bring people together for the benefit of humanity.

The power of branding to transform, catalyze, and inform change is illustrated by both the inaugural Brand of the Year, the "pussyhat," and this year's #MeToo movement. This cultural swell has been building in strength as people rally around the call to implement systemic change that will have a positive, lasting impact on our world. The possibility of a brand to make change has never been so tangible as we look into the future.

⏩ On Friday, December 7, 2018, at Brandstand at SVA Theatre in New York City, the #MeToo movement will be announced as the second annual Brand of the Year.

About The #MeToo Movement:

Founded by Tarana Burke in 2006 to help survivors of sexual violence, particularly Black women and girls, and other young women of color from low wealth communities, find pathways to healing, the goal of #MeToo is "to reframe and expand the global conversation around sexual violence to speak to the needs of a broader spectrum of survivors. Young people, queer, trans, and disabled folks, Black women and girls, and all communities of color. We want perpetrators to be held accountable and we want strategies implemented to sustain long term, systemic change."

Yes, Mary Knew: Biography by Irene Baron Details God's Plan for Mary

"MARY KNEW - A Biography of Mary from Ancient Scriptures" - Book Cover 

Ohio native, Irene Baron, is irritated whenever she hears the song, "Mary, Did You Know?" She stated, "That beautiful song gives the wrong impression.  If people think Mary was an average teenager, they're in for a big surprise! Mary and almost everyone in Galilee knew her destiny."

Based on eyewitness testimony by James, the youngest son of Joseph, Baron explains exactly what Mary knew. She reports that Mary's story is filled with angels, miracles and fulfilling of prophecies.

Baron wrote the book, MARY KNEW – A Biography of Mary from Ancient Scriptures, in the historical narrative format as reading scriptures is difficult for some people. 

Her readers will learn that: 

• God named, blessed, and consecrated Mary to be the mother of His Son before Mary's conception. 
• Messenger angels told her parents Mary would be the most important woman to be born on Earth. 
• Angels dictated what her parents were to feed her, how to care for her, and to move her to the Jerusalem Temple at age three. 
• Living in the Temple for over a decade, Mary conversed daily with angels who fed her. 
• During that time she made a holy vow to God which created later difficulties.

Irene Baron's book provides details about hardships Mary's parents endured, Mary's birth, her first 3 years, the Temple years, a very reluctant Joseph, the rough betrothal, and the birth of Jesus.

James' eyewitness account of Christ's birth describes a holy phenomenon not witnessed since. 

Baron reports, "People tell me they get chills reading about the birth because of the miracles that occurred when it happened."

Bible scholars report that James' scriptures were not placed in the New Testament because that section of the Bible was composed of books about Jesus, not His mother. 

James became a chief Apostle and was the first Bishop of Christian churches in Jerusalem. His scriptures were used in the Christian churches for hundreds of years.

An expert and speaker about the Virgin Mary, Irene Baron earlier discovered the Christmas star using NASA provided software. Her award-winning nonfiction book, Unraveling the Christmas Star Mystery, tells the story of that famous star.

America's Dark History of Organized Anti-Semitism Re-emerges in Today's Far-Right Groups

Hours after Robert Bowers allegedly walked into a Pittsburgh synagogue and killed 11 people, investigators told the media that Bowers appeared to have acted alone and fit what experts call the “lone mass shooter profile.”

Weeks later, FBI agents arrested a Washington D.C. man who followed Bowers on social media. He had told relatives he wanted to pursue the same path and start “a race revolution.”

Bowers may well have lived a solitary life, beyond his frequent presence on social media. Yet the fact that his violent act triggered a would-be emulator highlights an essential facet of prejudice – especially anti-Semitism.

As I show in my book, “Hitler’s American Friends: The Third Reich’s Supporters in the United States,” anti-Semitic violence is never solely the product of a single deluded mind, as the United States’ dark history of organized prejudice reveals. Instead, it is the product of a unique culture of hatred that originated in the mid-20th century and persists to this day.

This aspect of history is rarely found in textbooks. Yet it is critical to understand the continuing influence that homegrown, modern American anti-Semitism has had on the country’s history and continues to exert today.

In 1939, Fritz Kuhn addressed 20,000 people at a Madison Square Garden rally celebrating Nazism.

Local discrimination
Some forms of American anti-Semitism have been examined and confronted. Many existed at the local level and had a major impact on Jewish communities all over the U.S.

For decades, restrictive covenants in home deeds forbade Jews from buying homes in certain neighborhoods. Some country clubs excluded Jews from membership or even playing their courses as guests. Some Ivy League universities set quotas limiting the number of Jewish students they would admit.

These forms of personal, localized discrimination date back to the earliest days of the American Republic and persisted until relatively recently. Their decline can largely be traced to the passage and enforcement of anti-discrimination laws such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

Other forms of anti-Semitism, however, have not disappeared as rapidly or completely. This is where the dark American history of organized anti-Semitism has particular relevance to the present day.

Group prejudice
A good starting point for understanding this past can be found in Donald S. Strong’s 1941 book “Organized Anti-Semitism in America: The Rise of Group Prejudice During the Decade 1930-40.”

Strong demonstrated that both anti-Semitic sentiment and the number of explicitly anti-Semitic groups increased rapidly during the Depression. Organized anti-Semitism, Strong argued, appeared in the U.S. only after World War I. Previous forms of the prejudice, he claimed, “had expressed itself primarily in terms of social discrimination” rather than through the creation of specifically anti-Semitic groups.

In other words, organized anti-Semitism in the United States was a purely 20th-century phenomenon. Strong claimed that between 1933 and 1941, a dozen new anti-Semitic organizations had been founded each year.

“The anti-semitic movement in the United States,” he presciently concluded, “can no longer be treated as if it were a transient phenomenon.”

The two most important groups Strong examined were the German American Bund and the Silver Legion, also known as the Silver Shirts.

Symbol was the swastika 
The Bund, founded in 1936, was theoretically a German-American heritage organization. In reality, its leader – a German immigrant and naturalized American named Fritz Kuhn – chose the swastika as its symbol and insisted members, including children in summer camps, wear Nazi-style uniforms.

The group’s motto was “Free America,” which its followers understood to be an America freed from supposed Jewish oppression. The Bund had dozens of local chapters and a following that Kuhn claimed exceeded 200,000 nationwide. Other contemporary estimates put it considerably lower.

Kuhn’s time as an aspiring American Hitler ended after a raucous mass rally in Madison Square Garden in February 1939.

Addressing the rally, Kuhn declared that if George Washington had still been alive, he would be a Nazi.

Outraged at what he was hearing, a Jewish hotel worker, Isadore Greenbaum, rushed the stage during Kuhn’s address and was badly beaten by Kuhn’s bodyguards. Outside the Garden, Bund supporters clashed with anti-Nazi demonstrators and police officers.

A post-rally investigation revealed that Kuhn’s interests lay beyond emulating Hitler. He had been skimming money from the Bund’s accounts for personal use. Kuhn was subsequently prosecuted, convicted and eventually deported to West Germany after the war.

From screenwriter to anti-Semite
Kuhn was not the only leader of organized anti-Semitism in this era. The Silver Legion was similar to the Bund and commanded a nationwide following. Its “Chief,” William Dudley Pelley, was a former screenwriter who shared Kuhn’s dictatorial aspirations.

Like the Bund, the Legion was explicitly anti-Semitic and called for the segregation of Jews into ghettos. Silver Shirts across the country armed themselves, trained for a race war and encouraged Americans to “Buy Gentile.”

Also like Kuhn, Pelley was brought down by his own corruption. He had defrauded investors in a previous business venture to help fund the Legion. He was later indicted for sedition and would spend World War II fighting a series of legal cases from behind bars.

The movements both men built did not disappear with their incarceration, as declassified FBI files show. Certainly, their members did not simply cease to hold anti-Semitic views when their leaders were imprisoned.

Where did they go?
Historians know little about what happened to former Bund members and Silver Shirts after World War II. But media figures of the Depression era like Father Charles Coughlin – who had a radio audience in the tens of millions – also did much to popularize anti-Semitism. Recordings of Coughlin’s anti-Semitic radio broadcasts, along with Pelley’s writings, remain popular on far-right social media today.

As Strong recognized, the 20th century saw the emergence of a new and potentially violent anti-Semitism fundamentally based in Nazi-esque ideas and, in the 1930s, Hitler worship.

The only recorded instance of the Ku Klux Klan lynching a Jewish person – Leo Frank – took place in 1915, as World War I raged in Europe. While the Klan had previously focused its ire on African-Americans and Catholics, the move to anti-Semitism updated its appeal to racists facing the changing world of the 20th century.

Frank’s lynching is generally considered to have galvanized support for the previously declining group. In other words, violent and organized anti-Semitism became one of the ideological underpinnings of this leading American radical right group.

It continues to underpin the ideology of radical right groups today. Like Robert Bowers, the anti-Semites of the 21st century prepare for racial warfare and rant about Jews “committing genocide to my people.” They are following directly in the footsteps of America’s 20th-century leaders of organized anti-Semitism.

Past as prologue
American anti-Semitism doesn’t just hurt Jews. Racial and religious prejudice of various sorts have proven corrosive to the American social fabric in the past, for instance, in the Jim Crow-era South, where racist laws denied African-Americans their civil rights. And the United States’s geopolitical rivals – Russia, for instance – view the inflammation of these tensions on social media as a means to undermine the American political system.

Historians and educators can ensure that this dark aspect of U.S. history is included in textbooks and wider cultural memory. By confronting America’s dark past of organized anti-Semitism, it may be possible to recognize it in the present and see it as a more common part of our culture than most Americans would like to acknowledge.

That recognition can lead, possibly, to escaping the shadow that the 1930s still cast over the country today.

In celebration of the new film, Mary Poppins Returns, Academy Award-winning costume designer Sandy Powell, hosted an event last night to unveil a curated series of modern-day looks, inspired by the film. 

Hosted at Trunk Club's Los Angeles Clubhouse, guests enjoyed a live model presentation showcasing Sandy Powell's curated looks for men and women, and perusing artifacts on display from the making of the film.

The collection is available for a limited time and coincides with the film's release in theaters on December 19, 2018.

"We are thrilled to celebrate this reimagining of a classic Disney film to bring a modern take on the costumes – perfectly tailored, timeless, and elevated – to our customers," said Maggie Mee, head of merchandising at Trunk Club. "We understand the magical feeling that comes from finding the perfect outfit, helping people feel more confident and make even the most mundane task an extraordinary adventure."

The curated women's looks were created to emulate Mary Poppins' signature style —chic with an eccentric twist—by incorporating demurely flirty pieces for the modern woman. For men, looks were inspired by Mary's friend Jack and include classic casual pieces paired with flashes of color.

"I wanted to bring Mary Poppins' prim and proper nature juxtaposed with a whimsical, eccentric spirit to life through the costumes," said Sandy Powell. "The look of the movie and the clothes are elegant and refined, though never stuffy or stodgy, and include frivolous touches that pay homage to the 1930's. We are happy to collaborate with Trunk Club to bring a modern-day twist on the looks from the movie to closets nationwide."

About Mary Poppins Returns:  
In Disney's "Mary Poppins Returns," an all new original musical and sequel, Mary Poppins is back to help the next generation of the Banks family find the joy and wonder missing in their lives following a personal loss. Emily Blunt ("A Quiet Place," "The Girl on the Train") stars as the practically-perfect nanny with unique magical skills who can turn any ordinary task into an unforgettable, fantastic adventure and Lin-Manuel Miranda ("Hamilton," "Moana") plays her friend Jack, an optimistic street lamplighter who helps bring light—and life—to the streets of London.

"Mary Poppins Returns" is directed by Rob Marshall ("Into the Woods," "Chicago"). The screenplay is by David Magee ("Life of Pi") and the screen story is by Magee & Rob Marshall & John DeLuca ("Into the Woods") based upon the Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers. 

The producers are John DeLuca, p.g.a., Rob Marshall, p.g.a., and Marc Platt, p.g.a. ("La La Land") with Callum McDougall serving as executive producer. 

The music score is by Marc Shaiman ("Hairspray") and the film features all new original songs with music by Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman ("Smash") and Shaiman. 

The film also stars Ben Whishaw ("Spectre") as Michael Banks; Emily Mortimer ("Hugo") as Jane Banks; Julie Walters ("Harry Potter" films) as the Banks' housekeeper Ellen; Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and introducing Joel Dawson as the Banks' children, with Colin Firth ("The King's Speech") as Fidelity Fiduciary Bank's William Weatherall Wilkins; and Meryl Streep ("Florence Foster Jenkins") as Mary's eccentric cousin, Topsy. Angela Lansbury appears as the Balloon Lady, a treasured character from the PL Travers books and Dick Van Dyke is Mr. Dawes, Jr., the retired chairman of the bank now run by Firth's character.

PL Travers first introduced the world to the no-nonsense nanny in her 1934 children's book "Mary Poppins." However, the subsequent adventures of Mary Poppins remained only on the pages of the seven other PL Travers' books…until now. 

"Mary Poppins Returns" is drawn from the wealth of material in these additional books. The film takes place in 1930s Depression-era London 24 years after the first film was set. Michael Banks works for the same financial institution that employed his father and still lives at 17 Cherry Tree Lane with his three children, Annabel, John and Georgie and their housekeeper Ellen. 

Carrying on in her mother's tradition, Jane Banks campaigns for workers' rights and provides a helping hand to Michael's family. When the family suffers a personal loss, Mary Poppins magically re-enters their lives and with Jack's help, brings joy and wonder back into their home.

"Mary Poppins Returns" will be released in U.S. theaters on December 19, 2018.

MPs: Reject Theresa May's Rotten Brexit Deal! [Petition]

Theresa May (image via Avaaz)

Dear friends across Britain,

Theresa May just admitted that Brexit can be stopped -- IF MPs reject her rotten Brexit deal.

It all comes down to that one vote -- and May is doing everything in her power to pressure MPs to support her. Many are resisting, but if they crumble, Brexit is a done deal.

We can't let that happen!

May’s just written an open letter to the country begging for support -- let’s reply with our own open letter -- and make it history's loudest and most powerful call on MPs to reject May's rotten deal! When it’s huge, we’ll deliver it to every single MP -- Sign with one click and share with everyone!

"Dear MPs,

Theresa May’s Brexit deal is a disaster for Britain. 

As British citizens, we reject any Brexit that will make us poorer. We reject any Brexit that reduces our influence in the world. And we reject any Brexit based on lies, division and foreign influence in our politics.

As our MPs, we call on you to reject the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal, and give us, the people, the final say on Brexit in a fair public vote."

⏩ SIGN NOW ⏪

Whether we voted 'leave' or 'remain', no one voted for this disastrous deal: job losses, a ruinous divorce bill, and EU rules we can't control -- with possibly no end in sight! It's the absolute worst of both worlds.

That's why ministers are in open revolt, which opens the door for citizens to have the final say on Brexit -- but only if MPs first reject May's rotten deal.

So it all comes down to this one vote in Parliament, and we have to make sure MPs know that there's no public support for this Brexit deal at all. That'll take a massive public push -- but there are Avaazers in every last constituency, and only our movement can make this big enough, fast enough! 

Sign with one click and share with everyone you can! 

MPs: Reject May’s Brexit deal!

Avaaz has led the charge against Brexit. We helped make sure Parliament could reject any deal, took May on at the ballot box to strip her of her majority, and helped turn out hundreds of thousands of people on the streets. It all comes down to this moment -- so let’s make it count, and stop Brexit completely!

With hope and determination,

Loup Dargent

On behalf of Mike, Bert, Alex, Fatima and the whole team at Avaaz
