Kelley is this a good business decision for Blonde's?
Psycho donuts promotes stigma! It is not lighthearted and I believe that you should stop selling psycho donuts.
Psycho Donuts capitalizes on the theme of a “fun mental institution,” a “lighthearted insane asylum” complete with a padded cell where kids can take photos while wearing a straitjacket, a “group therapy” area, employees dressed in medical garb, and donuts named after psychiatric disabilities, such as Massive Brain Trauma and Bipolar. Psycho Donuts’ website states that it “has taken the neighborhood donut and put it on medication, and given it shock treatment.”

Please help us DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Send a loud and clear message to the owners of Psycho Donuts and Blonde's that the nationwide disability community WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS.

WE DEMAND:

1. The owners of Psycho Donuts immediately change the name and theme of the store and remove all references to institutions and people with mental and psychiatric disabilities in their store, including, but not limited to:
a. The name “Psycho Donuts”
b. Donuts named after any type of disability
c. The padded cell
d. Straitjackets
e. Employees dressed as doctors or nurses
f. “Group therapy” area
g. All references to shock therapy
h. The “Bates Motel” display.

2. The store owners and city staff responsible for approving this business issue a public, written apology to all people with psychiatric disabilities and to the Disability community.

3. The owners, managers and employees of the shop, businesses that support psycho donuts and city staff responsible for approving this business, participate in a series of ongoing disability awareness trainings within a specified time frame provided by the Pacific ADA Center.

If you are offended with what this company promotes, come and show your support!!
