Putting the ultra-vibrant t-shirts aside, I think the campaign does an effective job of uniting a diverse group of supporters around the issue at hand: young, old, Latino, White, Asian, rockers, housewives, activists, students, etc. all can gather under this campaign's cause. It's admirable to see a company's CEO not only support, but provide a platform for debating an issue that can arguably go against his business interest. Charney hasn't caved into the financial benefits of outsourcing labor, instead he has opted for the difficult route of publicly advocating for policy change. Whether people agree with his message or not, it is indisputable that Dov Charney is leaving a mark on both fashion and politics. Legalize LA is definitely a cool campaign in my book.
