Legalize LA was an immigration reform campaign conceived by Charney and promoted by American Apparel beginning in 2004. The campaign featured billboards and full-page ads in national publications as well as t-shirts sold in retail locations emblazoned with the words “Legalize LA.” Proceeds from the sale of the shirts were donated to immigration reform advocacy groups.
