BREAKING: National Lowe's Boycott Network Launched
The National Lowe's Boycott Network is a grassroots effort and campaign started by activists across the country in wake of the Lowes decision to pull advertising from the TLC show "All American Muslim." Those involved in the campaign come from a broad spectrum of religious, ethnic and professional backgrounds -- one thing they do have in common is their united stand against hate and bigotry.
