Campaign for Commercial Free Childhood: Backlash from standing up to Disney

As described in today's New York Times, last fall’s successful campaign to get Disney to offer refunds on Baby Einstein videos came at a price. At the height of the media flurry about the refunds, representatives from Disney contacted JBCC, and our relationship with the Center was changed irrevocably. We were pressured to stop talking to the press about Baby Einstein. Questions were raised about whether CCFC’s mission was appropriate for a JBCC program. Finally, in January, we were told that we had to leave—quickly. And, for our remaining time under JBCC’s auspices, we were forbidden from conducting any advocacy aimed at a specific corporation or product.
Please spread the word and share the story, maybe writing them a letter of support. This is a great organization and I would hate to see it go under.

I will add it to my blog and send emails and hopefully a letter.
