John and Deneice Leigh were appointed as JLA Kawaii Ambassadors in 2015. They have mistreated international guests at their events and participated in sexual harassment of young women in the lolita community.
The lolita community deserves better than this. Corruption and sexual harassment have no place in our fashion. I believe that no one in our fashion community should ever feel threatened, or be afraid of sexual harassment. To allow John and Deneice Leigh to continue in positions of authority, to attend their events, and spend money on merchandise or tickets that they profit from is to condone the harassment of young women.
If you believe that every lolita has the right to feel safe, to attend events without being sexually harassed by men in positions of power, I urge you to sign this petition.
Tell the JLA that we have had enough, that we will not, we can not, allow for people who will abuse our community to be in control of our representatives, to run our events, to handle our celebrity designers, models and other guests.
