Our AIM SB chapter participated in the Martin Luther King March that happened today. Afterwards, 8 of us walked down State Street and we checked on a couple of stores that were known to sell very racist shirts- like "My Indian name is falls down drunk"- so interesting enough we came across a store called
MOON RIVER 708 State Street in Santa Barbara. This Asian lady (who refused to give me her name) at the counter stated she was the owner and currently is selling a shirt that reads

"my Indian name is runs with beer"

They have removed the T-shirt but we need a letter from them on their letterhead stating that they will not sell T-shirts which put the Native American in a derogatory light!

if this offends you call this #805-966-1334

and/or call the Better Businesshttp://www.santabarbara.bbb.org/Home.aspx

or send a fax or email to the Downtown Business Organization that watches these stores (its about the $$green people and SB relies on Tourism)

FAX (805) 962-3286 info@sbdo.org


We have demanded for the Store owner to write a letter on letterhead stating they will no longer sell this shirt or anything like it. We told him once he does that- we will cease and desist- but up until then we will continue organizing and letting everyone know in Santa Barbara and beyond this is a store that promotes racism- and they sell it.

Action will be organized in the very near future

msg if interested or email aimsb@ymail.com
