The New York Stock Exchange welcomes Eventbrite Inc. in celebration of their Initial Public Offering. CEO Julia Hartz, joined by NYSE President Stacey Cunningham, rings the NYSE Opening Bell®.Add Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin to the list of those ditching Eventbrite over its decision to de-list women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines while allowing posts for anti-Israel events.
“I would ask your listeners: Do not respond or RSVP to an invitation from Eventbrite. Just stop using them,” he said. Eventbrite has not commented publicly on the outcry, but co-founder Kevin Hartz tweeted last week that “to accuse Eventbrite of being Pro-Hamas is egregious and moronic.” Mr. Youngkin said, “the fact that, first of all, Eventbrite continues to carry events around Hamas is unbelievable, but then on top of that, to proactively terminate an agreement with Riley is beyond belief.”The decision to jettison the Gaines event, a Nov. 3 speech at the University of California Davis called “Protecting Women’s Sports,” isn’t the first time Eventbrite has taken issue with those challenging the transgender movement.
