Women Of Color Are Tired Of Being Targeted By Toxic Marketing, Toxic Products

Amber Garcia is the Field and Advocacy Manager for the Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights (COLOR), a collective of Latinas dedicated to reproductive rights. Amber participated in the Feminine Care Rally in March, when she spoke against the media and mainstream propaganda that sells an unattainable image and ideal, which has a strong impact on women of color. This can also be seen by the disproportionate amount of women of color being targeted for self-care, hygiene and beauty products, which contain undisclosed toxic and hazardous elements that affects one’s health. Garcia speaks out against these practices and demands transparency of ingredients and chemicals used in sold products. Photo credit: Women’s Voices for the Earth
