Hopefully you had a restful holiday. SPARK was thankful for all the partner organizations and allies working together to advocate for girls and their right to a healthy sexuality.

 SPARKIt Action News! Shout-out to Hardy Girls Healthy Women: Congrats on the success of your Macy’s Day Parade Petition. HGHW worked with Equal Visibility Everywhere (EVE), the newest SPARK partner, and got the story picked up by the Huffington Post. Go team!

 SPARKGirl Alert! The SPARKGirls are Taking Sexy Back. Every day this week there will be a new blog with the girls discussing how they (and you) can reclaim sexy. Check it out at www.sparksummit.com, and show your support by retweeting, liking their blogs on Facebook, and reposting them on your website.

 SPARKPartner Alert! Cover Girl Culture was one of the amazing documentaries exhibited at the SPARK Summit. It explores how the worlds of fashion, modeling, advertising and celebrity impact teens and young women. Ms. (a founding SPARK partner) featured Cover Girl Culture in the Aug. 2010 issue of Ms. Magazine.
