Lush Campaign

Global Action on Gun Violence has partnered with cosmetic company, Lush, and Change the Ref on Lush’s latest campaign. Starting July 3, all 200+ Lush shops across the United States will promote GAGV’s Lawsuit for Survival, urging customers to sign a petition in support of the groundbreaking human rights lawsuit and advocate for stricter gun laws. 

The Lawsuit for Survival was filed by Global Action on Gun Violence on behalf of Joaquin Oliver and his parents, Manuel and Patricia, in the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Seventeen-year-old Joaquin was killed in the 2018 Parkland, Florida, high school shooting. The lawsuit seeks to hold the U.S. government accountable for violating human rights law by failing to protect people’s right to live free from gunfire and causing Joaquin’s death in the massacre. 

In honor of Joaquin and the campaign, Lush has created a limited-edition “Sonflower” bath bomb, inspired by the sunflowers that Joaquin brought to school for his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day — the day of the shooting. The bath bomb has sunflower petals and features a fan-favorite Lush scent, Avocado Co-wash, as a nod to Joaquin’s nickname, Guac. 

75% of the proceeds will go to GAGV and Change the Ref.  The Lawsuit for Survival will be the primary campaign in Lush’s U.S. stores from July 3 – July 14.

The Lawsuit for Survival stands with Joaquin, Manny, Patricia, and countless others who have been killed, injured, or traumatized by gun violence.
