"When a powerful children’s author like J. K. Rowling spouts the same sort of hateful rhetoric that already kills so many, she is directly influencing the lives of children and young readers who might have once looked up to her and found safety in her work. Her words have not only been emotionally harmful. They are dangerous and potentially life-threatening, and could impact a young transgender or nonbinary person’s mental health." - Kacen Callender

These are the stakes. They are not trivial. As a company that is financially connected to J.K. Rowling through the LEGO Harry Potter line, the LEGO Group has a moral and ethical responsibility to do more than sit silently.

We call on The LEGO Group to do the following before July 31st, 2020:

• Publish a statement condemning Jo Rowling for her transphobic writings and unequivocally stating The LEGO Group's support of people of all genders, particularly of transgender and non-binary LEGO fans who are harmed by Rowling’s transphobia

AND

• Commit a percentage of each LEGO Harry Potter product sold to a trans charity (Mermaids, Trans Lifeline, The Okra Project, Marsha P. Johnson Institute) 

Until these demands are met, we vow to boycott all LEGO Harry Potter products. 

The LEGO Group must use its platform to stand up for trans rights, in words and in actions.
