Like many others, we have been deeply saddened by the death of George Floyd. We cannot begin to imagine the pain and suffering of his family and friends and anyone else who has been affected by bigotry, violence and racial injustice. ​ We may not have the exact right words to say, but as a brand with a platform, we feel a responsibility to speak up and say, what's happening is not okay. ​ Today we stand united with our community and repeat, it is time for us all to act. As Martin Luther King said, "change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability". Great change only comes through collective action. ​ We've made a donation to the #BlackLivesMatter movement and ask you to consider what you can do today to help support change? Below are some other resources where you can donate or learn more: @blklivesmatter @NAACP @Changedotorg
