Etsy, a beloved platform for unique and handmade goods, must uphold its commitment to creating a safe and respectful marketplace by enforcing its hate speech policy.
Disturbingly, products branded under the 'Alligator Alcatraz' name are still being sold on the site, blatantly violating Etsy's guidelines against hate speech. These products are not only offensive, but they also perpetuate harmful ideologies that can incite discrimination and hatred.
Etsy's Prohibited Items Policy explicitly disallows any product that promotes, supports, or glorifies hate or violence towards others, primarily on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Despite this, Alligator Alcatraz merchandise continues to be available.
These items are more than just merchandise; they symbolize intolerance and bigotry, which have no place in a diverse and accepting community.
Allowing such products to remain tarnishes Etsy's reputation as an inclusive space for artists and creators, contradicting its core values.
It is vital that Etsy acts decisively to remove these items and ban the sellers from future participation on the platform. By taking this action, Etsy will demonstrate its dedication to maintaining a marketplace free from prejudice and hate.
Stand with us in urging Etsy to enforce its hate speech policy. Sign this petition to ensure Alligator Alcatraz merchandise is swiftly removed and its sellers banned, making Etsy a safer, more welcoming place for all.
