Your dollars are important! As you consider gift giving and entertainment, please always choose merchants and products that respect people's names. 

Considering giving a gift from a vendor who makes light of someone's name?  Ask yourself: 

• Would I think this funny if it were my name and it was being misused constantly?

• Would I think this funny if instead of a name, it used another aspect of identity like race or gender? 

• Would I think this funny if I accidentally bumped into these statements from strangers?

• Have I checked out how names impact people subconsciously by using this tool?

• Let caring merchants know you choose to buy from them because they don't carry derogatory products.

• Ask a merchant to remove or discontinue a derogatory product. 

• Speak out when you see or hear the misuse of people's names.
