Thank you for your support as we show the City of Palm Springs that placing #MeTooMarilyn in front of the Palm Springs Art Museum is an ill-conceived, tone-deaf decision in 2021.

The Hollywood Reporter: Court Date Set for Placement of Marilyn Monroe Statue
"A lawsuit filed by a group of concerned citizens opposes the planned placement of the statue on Museum Way, a public street just outside of the Palm Springs Art Museum. Among the arguments against it going there is that it would block the view of the historic museum, and when guests exit the facility, they would be greeted by the statue's panty-clad backside, a view critics say is sexist and sends the wrong message in the wake of the #MeToo and Time's Up movements." The statue's fate will make its way in front of a judge this Friday.

L.A. Times Architecture Critic Christopher Knight calls Forever Marilyn a #MeToo Marilyn: "The return of a sexist sculpture is wrecking a downtown Palm Springs redevelopment plan." We agree.

"This really is a monument to misogyny but under the guise of nostalgia. Those were not the 'good old days,' especially not for women. Not for Marilyn. Not for the many, many women who had to deal with the misogyny of an industry that was run by men," said [former Palm Springs Art Museum Executive Director Elizabeth] Armstrong.

"It wasn't the good old days for Marilyn," she said. 

Please share this petition to keep the pressure on the City of Palm Springs to reconsider placing this statue in front of the Palm Springs Art Museum!
