Stop 'Karen' being used to describe racist behaviour in the Tabloids & Media

Petition Details

We would like for the media to stop using our name 'Karen' as a term for racist people. It's defamatory and bullying towards all the Karen's in the world.

Additional Information

As with all social media and tabloid papers they need to be held to account when they use our name as a blanket term for offensive abhorrent behaviour.
