Michael's Legacy on the Auction Block (Please Read & Sign the Petition!)

Please read and sign this petition! BTW, I didn’t start it, but I'm glad these fellow MJ fans did. Here’s the link: https://c.org/RW7zFpF6nT

My personal feelings about it all:

When I first heard about the upcoming auction of Michael Jackson's belongings, I’d only seen a few posts on X, so I thought it involved just a few items. Then I checked my email, saw the auction link, and scrolled through the two collections listed. I was astounded—what isn't being auctioned off? I know one of Michael's former designers (name listed in the petition) has many MJ pieces, but can he have that many? And while I know others have acquired Michael's belongings, this listing is extensive! Like many fans, I really wish I knew more about how these auctions work; I have so many questions. It all makes me sad. I know they’re only clothes, but they’re also HIStory that should be preserved—whether by Michael Jackson's children, in a museum, or in exhibits—instead of being sold to just anyone and scattered everywhere. I understand selling a few items, but this is ridiculous. I really hope there’s a way to stop Michael's items from being sold like this. And what about the J5 and Jackson era items listed? I feel the family should control those items, since different brothers wore some of them. It’s all so sad, and it breaks my heart.

Again, please read and sign the petition—and share! It's at  5k+ signatures and counting. Petition Link: https://c.org/RW7zFpF6nT

P.S., even this beautiful sweater that Michael wore to the 1981 American Music Awards is being auctioned. 😢
