Penland Boycott – UPDATE
I wanted to thank everyone who is supporting us to get
Penland to PAY BACK THE ARTISTS!
We are doing so well! We have over 417 people who have
signed our Change.org petition and over 100 letters sent to Penland, and in
only 10 days old! We are seeking 5000
petitions so we need your help to continue spreading the word.
All these Open Letters posted this week have been great and
now I think Penland cannot just say it is John Britt. It is over 500 Penland
supporters who have stood up and said – enough is enough.
This support has only strengthened my resolve
and with your help we will get Penland to do the right thing and repay the artists.
Penland has over 27 million in assets and somehow can’t find
one penny to spare for its hardest working artists?! I imagine that if the
administration had been denied pay they would have found the money by now.
Just so you know, per your suggestions, I have bumper
stickers on the way-
Thanks and help us on Facebook to spread the word!
John Britt
