Hi all, 

The article on Yahoo by Jessie Middis is out and you can read it here . Please share it with your networks to tell people about the impact we are having!

Have a read of the comments by Coles and Woolworths:

"Speaking to Yahoo News Australia, a Coles spokesperson confirmed staff had met with Ms Mather recently.

“Our Diversity and Inclusion Manager and a representative from our Own Brand Responsible Sourcing team met with Jerusha recently to understand more about her concerns and discuss some of her ideas,” the spokesperson said.

“We appreciate advocates taking the time to help educate us so we can make more inclusive packaging choices for our customers.”

"A spokesperson from Woolworths has told Yahoo News that they are grateful for Ms Mather’s feedback."

“Across our stores we aim to provide a range that caters to the needs of our diverse customers,” the spokesperson said.

“We’re grateful for Jerusha’s feedback and would value her input on how we can improve packaging to meet the needs of more customers.”

“We have contacted her to arrange a meeting and express our apologies for not doing so sooner,” the Woolworths representative said.

I'm looking forward to a fruitful meeting with Woolworths representatives soon and can't wait to update you all about it.

Please keep sharing this petition and article around to keep it on the agenda. 

Cheers, 

Jerusha
