Alison Ettel was caught on camera confronting an 8-year-old girl selling water to passersby near AT&T Park. The video quickly went viral and sparked a wider conversation about black people being censured for seemingly harmless acts. Ettel said she was sorry and that though she did call the police, it had nothing to do with race. The little girl's mother is on record saying she doesn't believe her and Ettel ultimately resigned from her position as CEO of the company where she worked as a result of the backlash.
Alison Ettel is yet another on a growing list of people harassing people of color for doing seemingly normal things. She is the inspiration for our new Permit Patty Protection Candle.
