These Are The Fashion Brands Making Donations To Fight Racial Inequality

If you're going to shop, shop for a cause.

by Erika Harwood

Many brands and retailers spent the weekend creating posts for social media expressing their support for the protests across the country fighting for justice and racial equality, though few made any promises to take action. That's starting to change on Monday, with large companies like H&M Group and Pretty Little Thing, as well as small brands like Eckhaus Latta and Vaquera pledging financial support to different organizations, including Black Lives Matter, the ACLU, the NAACP, bail out funds, and more.

Many people are currently looking to fashion companies that are taking steps to support protestors and fight against systemic racism, hoping to spend their money at places that are not only speaking out, but also taking action.

Some other fashion companies, including Warby Parker, Ganni, and Fenty, are making outright donations while others will be redirecting proceeds from purchases to a range of organizations and nonprofits. Below, we've compiled a list of the brands currently making monetary donations in response to the protests, which we'll be updating regularly as we learn more. Also, if you want to educate yourself more on radical justice and anti-racism, we have a list of book suggestions that you can shop and read right now.
