Petition updateRemove suicide shirts from AmazonYou're making a difference

Hey everyone. From what I can tell, the shirts are gone from the French site, all except one from the Canadian site are gone (the "Suicide makes our lives so much easier" one), and all except one from the American main site (the "got suicide" one) are gone too. There are still a few on the UK and German sites, with sizes available for children. If any of you have found ones that I may have missed, feel free to send me links on here, on twitter (https://twitter.com/markhenick), or on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/markhenick/). There is still no actual, official public statement or apology from Amazon. There has been at least one report, possibly more, of an Amazon customer service agent apologizing to an individual who contacted them. They have not responded to my email, and they are not responding to any media requests (and this has gotten wide media coverage, a recent interview is attached below). A public problem like this, and suicide itself, requires a public response. Many of you have also called for Amazon to do something meaningful to make this right, possibly by donating to a mental health charity. I totally agree and am working on something for this, which will hopefully be shared in tomorrow's update. All this proves one thing for sure. Your voice matters. We know they hear us. They're not the only ones who do. For each and every person feeling lost and alone, and for the families and friends of those who fell victim to the lies their darkness told them. Here's at least one thing you can hang on to. There's 50,000 people who've got your back. I'm so proud to be one of them. Mark
