The company has stated they will accelerate their progress in stories and characters that represent the black community and other communities of color and diversity. Some specifics include:
−

  +
:* The launch of ''What It Means to Be an American Girl Today'', a series of virtual and in-person discussions about race and diversity. Initial discussion will be led by writers of the Black stories on the line (e.g. [[Connie Porter]], [[Denise Lewis Patrick]]) and experts, and help the company listen to the voices of the community.

[[File:AGNewCharacters.jpg|thumb|center|500px|L to R: [[Nanea Mitchell]], [[Logan Everett]], [[Tenney Grant]], [[Gabriela McBride]], [[Suzie Yang]], and [[Felicity Merriman]].]]
  
  +
:* Starting July 1st, all the stories about the Black characters will be added to the Online Library as free downloads. AG is also making a commitment to launch more fiction and non fiction books about topics of racial equality and justice.
−
: A [http://play.americangirl.com/play/videos/#id=ChooseYourCharacter stop-motion video] on the American Girl Play site reveals dolls of Gabriela, Tenney Grant, Logan Everett, Suzie Yang (Z from the [[Z.Crew]] videos), and an new unknown, possibly historical character. Information has already materialized for Felicity, Tenney, and Logan (and Gabriela was released on January 1st) but not a doll of Z or the unexplained new character (with what appears to be a whole new face mold).
 
  +
:* Bringing more black voices into their discussions and advice on creation including consultants, influencers, parents, and children.
  +
:* The planning and release of a new Black Contemporary character (likely a [[Girls of the Year|Girl of the Year]]) and other contemporary characters of color.
  +
:* The donation of a minimum of $50,000 worth of books to libraries focusing on the stories of [[Kaya]], [[Addy]], [[Josefina]], [[Rebecca]] (who is a character of religious diversity but not of color), [[Nanea]], and [[Melody]].

Article pages are up but more details are currently unavailable. We'll still come at you if you try to rumor-smear, and the pages are locked. Don't test the admins.

Tenney, Logan, and Felicity will release Thursday, Suzie "Z" Yang in April, and Nanea Mitchell this Fall around August.
 
   
  +
: Stores may have shorter hours, limited bistros, and limited doll salons. Stores with bistros have switched to disposable menus and have temporarily removed loaner dolls from our cafés and party rooms. Chicago offers curbside pickup (as does New York, though the store itself is not open). At several locations face coverings are required due to local guidelines, and all fitting rooms are closed at this time.
−

: in the wake of the [https://blacklivesmatter.com/ Black Lives Matter] activity in 2020--a international human rights movement founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's murderer and amplified in 2020 by the death of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and the following nation- and worldwide protests--Mattel and its subsidiaries have, like many companies and businesses, spoken out about the movement and recognized their shortcomings in representation and black support in the Mattel Play Fair Initiative. This has been specifically noted in relation to American Girl on their [https://www.instagram.com/p/CBWsFiQjOqT/ Instagram account] and [https://www.facebook.com/americangirl/posts/3107881199255019 Facebook account], as well as on the [https://corporate.mattel.com/news/mattels-statement-on-commitment-to-the-black-community corporate site].

This will apply to [[Maryellen Larkin (doll)|Maryellen]], [[Melody Ellison (doll)|Melody]], [[Julie Albright (doll)|Julie]], [[Truly Me]] dolls, and upcoming contemporary characters (but not Tenney Grant). Official statement [https://www.facebook.com/americangirl/photos/a.417907931585706.91492.175829615793540/1327998453909978/?type=3&comment_id=1328051480571342&reply_comment_id=114060802446059&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D] is that the modification was made "for a variety of reasons, including consumer research that's shown that having the underwear fixed to the body will make play easier for some and will ensure the underwear is less likely to be lost or need to be replaced." They will continue to sell separate brief and underwear sets. This will be a rolling replacement among Truly Me and other dolls.
 
  +
  +
* Increasing efforts to build a workforce that reflects the diversity of our community, focusing on the development and recruitment of Black talent.
  +
* Investment in the next generation of the Black community with intention, by providing access and opportunities.
  +
* Offering products, content and experiences built on the foundation of diversity, ensuring that the stories of the Black community are seen and heard.
  +
* Mattel is donating $250,000 to NAACP youth programs and going forward will donate proceeds from future product sales and initiatives of at least $250,000 to fund educational programs focused on supporting Black girls.
  +
* Specific to American Girl, representatives have stated that they will not be retiring the [[Addy Walker (doll)|Addy doll]] nor her [[Addy Mold|mold]], both of which have been lessened in promotions and product in recent years.

  +
: This week's free books from the [https://www.americangirl.com/explore/articles/onlinelibrary American Girl Online Library] are ''[[Rebecca: The Sound of Applause]]'', the accompanying teacher's guide, and ''[[A Smart Girl's Guide: Knowing What to Say]]''.
−
: ETA: A [http://jezebel.com/everyones-really-upset-that-they-cant-take-the-panties-1792137653 E-mail] to Jezebel from American Girl includes the following addition, also citing cost issues:
 
   
  +
: As American Girl has stated they would do twelve total weeks, it is unknown if more books will be available after this week.
−
::''The decision to make this change was made for several reasons, including our ability to continue producing a quality product without the price of our dolls going up. And because we learned from our consumer research that the new underwear design will make play easier for some children and will ensure the underwear cannot be lost, we hoped it was an overall benefit for most. Having observed for decades how girls play with our dolls, outfits, and accessories, we believe the change will not limit how a young girl imagines or interacts with her doll.''

  +
: The Madison Children's Museum has released data via e-mail about the logistics of this year's [[Madison Children's Museum Sale|MCM Sale]], and the changes that are being made due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
−
: If you happen to live in the Los Angeles area, the American Girl Place at The Grove is hosting a first look event for what is presumed to be the debuts of [[Tenney Grant]] and [[Felicity Merriman]] on February 16, 9am to 10am. (The description from the [http://www.americangirl.com/retail/los_angeles.php Los Angeles store page] states, ''"you’ll be among the first to see our newest contemporary character, and to welcome back a beloved historical character!"'' in the Upcoming Events section.) There will also be new products on display in addition to the character reveals. It should be noted '''this event is intended for adults and reservations are required''', but children will not be turned away.
  
   
  +
:* The sale will be online only, as was expected.
−
: [[User:AkaiKaze|AkaiKaze]], the Other Admin
  
  +
:* Orders can be placed on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26. This is a change from the original July 11-12 dates, to give time to facilitate the online system.
  +
:* Access to shopping online will be in the same order and weekend day as ticketed entry times. Quantity limits will be in effect, just as at the physical sale, by ticket. A ticket allows one online purchase of a shopping cart of goods, honoring all quantity limits. A second ticket allows another online purchase, with refreshed quantity limits, and so on.
  +
:* As with previous sales, on Sunday there will be additional markdowns and limit changes.
  +
:* All orders will be shipped to the purchaser. Curbside pickup options will not be available. Shipping costs will be calculated during checkout and included in the purchase total at the time of checkout. While MCM is negotiating the best possible deals for shipping, buyers should expect shipping charges similar to standard shipping of items through the post office or UPS store.
  +
:*MCM has decided that no additional tickets will be offered for this year's benefit sale.
  +
:* Dolls and Friends Pajama Party kits will be available in limited quantities. Each kit will include a Bitty Baby doll, special craft project supplies, and an invitation to participate in an exclusive online video party in the fall; exact date(s) will be listed.
   
  +
: Due to the multiple logistic changes, MCM for this year is changing the longstanding refund policy and will offer refunds to current ticket holders. Requests for refunds must be made by the 15th of June. Alternatively--since this is a benefit sale for charity--there will also be an option to donate any unneeded ticket(s) to the cause. People may also transfer their tickets to others.

The company has stated they will accelerate their progress in stories and characters that represent the black community and other communities of color and diversity. Some specifics include:
  • The launch of What It Means to Be an American Girl Today, a series of virtual and in-person discussions about race and diversity. Initial discussion will be led by writers of the Black stories on the line (e.g. Connie Porter, Denise Lewis Patrick) and experts, and help the company listen to the voices of the community.
  • Starting July 1st, all the stories about the Black characters will be added to the Online Library as free downloads. AG is also making a commitment to launch more fiction and non fiction books about topics of racial equality and justice.
  • Bringing more black voices into their discussions and advice on creation including consultants, influencers, parents, and children.
  • The planning and release of a new Black Contemporary character (likely a Girl of the Year) and other contemporary characters of color.
  • The donation of a minimum of $50,000 worth of books to libraries focusing on the stories of Kaya, Addy, Josefina, Rebecca (who is a character of religious diversity but not of color), Nanea, and Melody.

June 22, 2020 / Reopened Stores and Create Your Own Delays
The following American Girl Place stores are currently open: Seattle, Charlotte, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, San Fransisco, and Washington D.C.
Stores may have shorter hours, limited bistros, and limited doll salons. Stores with bistros have switched to disposable menus and have temporarily removed loaner dolls from our cafés and party rooms. Chicago offers curbside pickup (as does New York, though the store itself is not open). At several locations face coverings are required due to local guidelines, and all fitting rooms are closed at this time.
Please check American Girl's FAQ for all regulations, and continue to practice safe social distancing.
Also note that delivery time for Create Your Own dolls and outfits has been extended to approximately ten weeks from the order date due to the pandemic.
Nethilia, The Admin
June 19, 2020 / Buy Two Books, Get One Free
Starting June 4th and through September 7th, select books are Buy Two Get One Free with code BOOK20 at American Girl stores and online (excluding the American Girl Outlet Store and Canadian retail outlets). Last Chance items and Smart Girl's Guides branded kits are excluded from this offer.
Nethilia, The Admin
June 14, 2020 / American Girl, the Mattel Play Fair Initiative and the Black Lives Matter Movement
in the wake of the Black Lives Matter activity in 2020--a international human rights movement founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's murderer and amplified in 2020 by the death of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and the following nation- and worldwide protests--Mattel and its subsidiaries have, like many companies and businesses, spoken out about the movement and recognized their shortcomings in representation and black support in the Mattel Play Fair Initiative. This has been specifically noted in relation to American Girl on their Instagram account and Facebook account, as well as on the corporate site. Specifics noted across the company:
  • Increasing efforts to build a workforce that reflects the diversity of our community, focusing on the development and recruitment of Black talent.
  • Investment in the next generation of the Black community with intention, by providing access and opportunities.
  • Offering products, content and experiences built on the foundation of diversity, ensuring that the stories of the Black community are seen and heard.
  • Mattel is donating $250,000 to NAACP youth programs and going forward will donate proceeds from future product sales and initiatives of at least $250,000 to fund educational programs focused on supporting Black girls.
  • Specific to American Girl, representatives have stated that they will not be retiring the Addy doll nor her mold, both of which have been lessened in promotions and product in recent years.
Nethilia, The Admin
June 13, 2020 / This Week on the American Girl Library - Week Twelve
This week's free books from the American Girl Online Library are Rebecca: The Sound of Applause, the accompanying teacher's guide, and A Smart Girl's Guide: Knowing What to Say.
As American Girl has stated they would do twelve total weeks, it is unknown if more books will be available after this week.

June 8, 2020 / Changes to the MCM Sale for 2020
The Madison Children's Museum has released data via e-mail about the logistics of this year's MCM Sale, and the changes that are being made due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
  • The sale will be online only, as was expected.
  • Orders can be placed on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26. This is a change from the original July 11-12 dates, to give time to facilitate the online system.
  • Access to shopping online will be in the same order and weekend day as ticketed entry times. Quantity limits will be in effect, just as at the physical sale, by ticket. A ticket allows one online purchase of a shopping cart of goods, honoring all quantity limits. A second ticket allows another online purchase, with refreshed quantity limits, and so on.
  • As with previous sales, on Sunday there will be additional markdowns and limit changes.
  • All orders will be shipped to the purchaser. Curbside pickup options will not be available. Shipping costs will be calculated during checkout and included in the purchase total at the time of checkout. While MCM is negotiating the best possible deals for shipping, buyers should expect shipping charges similar to standard shipping of items through the post office or UPS store.
  • MCM has decided that no additional tickets will be offered for this year's benefit sale.
  • Dolls and Friends Pajama Party kits will be available in limited quantities. Each kit will include a Bitty Baby doll, special craft project supplies, and an invitation to participate in an exclusive online video party in the fall; exact date(s) will be listed.
Due to the multiple logistic changes, MCM for this year is changing the longstanding refund policy and will offer refunds to current ticket holders. Requests for refunds must be made by the 15th of June. Alternatively--since this is a benefit sale for charity--there will also be an option to donate any unneeded ticket(s) to the cause. People may also transfer their tickets to others.
Full information can be read online at the official website.
