The Turn Beauty Inside Out Campaign, an ongoing public education effort started by New Moon Magazine and coordinated by Mind on the Media. 2006 Turn Beauty Inside Out (TBIO) Action Kits are available for TBIO Day on May 17, 2006. On that day the focus will be on encouraging girls and boys (not to mention women and men) to redefine beauty to focus on who they are and what they do, not on how they look.

The TBIO Action Kit, available by mail or e-mail, is designed to give you ideas about how to use TBIO Day to raise awareness, inspire discussion and foster coalition building or involvement in girls' issues. It includes a Step-by-step Guide to Organizing a TBIO Event in your community, Follow Up Activities, and Media Tips to publicize your efforts.

Mind on the Media is a non-profit organization working to increase public awareness about the harmful effects of media images. You can find out more by ordering a TBIO Action Kit or by visiting their website.
