CHANGE CAN HAPPEN!!!

Change.org
Take Action
Dear Shawn,
Victory! After two months of campaigning, your voice was heard -- along with that of 17,000 other Change.org members.Etsy, the online marketplace, has removed offensive greeting cards that mocked rape survivors, parents of kids with Down syndrome, and breast cancer patients.
Even better, Etsy has changed its internal policies as a result of your activism: Previously, Etsy specified that their site had "prohibited disparaging or promoting hate against people based on race or religion." Now, that policy also includes gender, sexual orientation, and people with disabilities.
Don't stop now. If there's another change in your community, state or country that you'd like to see, click here to start your own petition on Change.org:
Thanks, as always, for taking action.
-Judith Meskill and the Change.org team
