The sleaziest CEO in American fashion is back. Dov Charney, founder of bankrupt American Apparel who was fired after almost a decade of sexual assault allegations and creepy, sexualized ads, just started a new garment corporation.

We have just one question: Does Charney’s new company, Los Angeles Apparel, have a sexual harassment policy?

Charney is using the same business model, almost the same name and even the same sewing machines as the company he ran into the ground.

There is absolutely nothing to indicate that the same predatory, sexual misconduct allegations that plagued American Apparel won’t be present in his new startup. This time, we’re getting involved before the lawsuits start flying.

Tell Dov Charney to develop a public sexual harassment policy for LA Apparel.

American Apparel’s rise as an edgy, American-made garment manufacturer was almost immediately undermined by its hypersexualized ads which frequently featured models who looked underage or in distress. It came as no surprise to many when Charney himself became the target of multiple sexual assault and harassment allegations—and the company did little to set things right before it fired Charney in 2014.

We can’t let it all happen again now that Charney has his hands on the wheel of American Apparel 2.

At SumOfUs, we believe women. That’s why nearly 30,000 of us stood up to a major Canadian airline after it was revealed that a stewardess was sexually assaulted by a pilot -- and then fired after she complained. It’s why hundreds of thousands of us stood up for Kesha when Sony forced her to keep working with the producer she says drugged and raped her when she was 19. We won’t stand idly by as corporations create and condone cultures of sexual assault and harassment.

Join our call to see American Apparel 2’s sexual harassment policy.
