Online grassroots advocacyIn May 2003, Yellowworld.org began Project SARSfund, an online charity to purchase medical supplies and equipment for health workers in China battling the SARS epidemic.[2] In February 2003, Yellowworld.org joined other Asian American advocacy organizations in denouncing U.S. Congressman Howard Coble's endorsement of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, launching RemoveCoble!, a call for his resignation as Chair of the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security.[2][3][4] In November 2002, Yellowworld.org helped launch Justice for Anna Guo, a campaign by Yellowworld.org, the Chinese American Citizens Alliance (CACA), the Asian Pacific American Bar Association (APABA) and Assemblymember Judy Chu (D-Monterey); its purpose is press for justice in the case of the eponymous girl, a fourteen-year-old who was shot three times by police yet convicted for felony assault because she was holding a small knife (with which she had been contemplating suicide). The campaign desires to have the charges dropped and the policeman who fired the shots investigated.[2][5] In October 2002 Yellowworld.org launched the online advocacy campaign Project Anti-Disguise to raise awareness of and protest against the costume manufacturer Disguise, Inc. and its product Kung Fool, a mask based on a racist caricature of someone with East Asian features. In only eight days over 8,300 people signed the campaign's online petition calling for the mask's recall while generating nationwide television, print, and radio media coverage. By the end of the eighth day the company issued a nationwide recall and major resellers such as Walmart, Spencer Gifts and Party City pulled the product from their shelves.[2][6][7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://forums.yellowworld.org|title=Yellowworld Forums|publisher=Yellowworld.org|accessdate=2007-06-05}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://forums.yellowworld.org/faq.php?faq=new_faq_item|title=Yellowworld Forums - FAQ: About Yellowworld.org|publisher=Yellowworld.org|accessdate=2007-06-05}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Petition to Remove Congressman Howard Coble |publisher=Yellowworld.org |date=2003-02-04 |accessdate=2007-06-02 |url=http://removecoble.yellowworld.org/ |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070502051527/http://removecoble.yellowworld.org/ |archivedate=May 2, 2007 }} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Groups want panel leader to quit over remarks|publisher=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel|date=2003-02-12|accessdate=2007-06-05|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/g/GooglePM/MWSB/lib00252,0F92AD9A038BAE8E.html}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://anna.yellowworld.org/ |title=Justice for Anna Guo |publisher=Yellowworld.org |date=2002-12-13 |accessdate=2007-06-05 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070604151635/http://anna.yellowworld.org/ |archivedate=June 4, 2007 }} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2002/10/17/BU168521.DTL|publisher=San Francisco Chronicle|last=Hua|first=Vanessa|date=2002-10-17|accessdate=2007-06-05|title=Bucktoothed Halloween mask bites the dust: San Diego costumemaker halts sales after Asian Americans protest}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Internet-activated protest delivers knockout blow to halloween costume|publisher=Modesto Bee|date=2002-10-25|accessdate=2007-06-05|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/g/GooglePM/MS/lib00329,0F6E8E83490D4862.html}} External links
