Welcome, Policymakers, to the STRIPED Advocacy Playbook

Policymakers like you have the power to write a prescription for body confidence for all children by passing legislation to reduce the harmful impact of products and marketing practices and discrimination that are damaging to physical and mental health. You can do what doctors and hospitals cannot: You can literally change the environment in which we raise our children.

Most likely, you have some idea of the kind of law you would like to pass. Maybe you want to prevent the sale of weight-loss supplements and muscle-building supplements to kids. Maybe you want to create incentives to get businesses to end the practice of digitally distorting photographs to alter body shape, size, or skin shade. Or maybe you have something different in mind. Whatever kind of policy change you are seeking, this Playbook will help you map out a winning plan.
