We went back to @Yandy to deliver @zoexrain petition w/ 13,773 signatures opposing their use of stolen Native identities as Halloween costumes for profit. CEO Jeff Watton immediately told us to leave & threatened to call the police. He refused any discussion with us.
I find it incredibly ironic that a corporation like @Yandy say they’re paying homage to Native women but don’t listen to actual Native women. We’ve been calling for the removal of the over 40 Native themed “sexy” & “seductress” costumes of Native women for sometime now.
