Hi again,
In closing the petition, Change.org requires a final update. It's the last one you'll get from me, promise - on this issue anyway ;)
Our petition contains 1551 pages of over 60,000 signatures. This will be sent to Amazon today to ensure that your voice is heard (though we already know it was). Seeing these pages has convinced me of one thing for sure.
We won.
Our action had a direct impact. For the remaining products, and new ones that come up with dangerous messaging around suicide, we've built an engaged and passionate community of advocates. I know that you'll join me in continuing to watch out for and report these to Amazon here: https://goo.gl/HNaD9F (leave the "Order #" field blank, and include a link to the product in the comments section).
For anyone who chooses to continue shopping through Amazon, I hope that you might consider doing so through smile.amazon.com and choosing a suicide prevention charity for Amazon to make a donation to. Here's more info on that: http://goo.gl/2KC63v (in the "pick your own charitable organization" box, type "suicide" and you'll be given hundreds of options).
That's all for now.
With gratitude,
Mark
