Domestic violence activists urge boycott of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'

A grassroots campaign has been launched across social media to encourage people to boycott the new Fifty Shades of Grey film.

#50dollarsnot50shades is asking the public to skip watching the movie in February, and instead give the $50 (£33) they would have spent on tickets, food and drinks to a domestic violence shelter or agency.

It is also co-sponsored by Antipornography.org, One Angry Girl Designs and Provincial Association of Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan. Read more...
