Gymshark have donated $125,000 to Black Lives Matter, and announced their no nonsense way to tackle injustice globally. Below is a quote from their statement:
FUCK STANDING ON THE SIDELINE.
FUCK INJUSTICE.
FUCK RACISM.
To us, strength has no identity, and solidarity should have no race.
We will represent Black culture and communities better within our own. We’re working hand-in-hand with our Black athletes and team members to shape our plan for better representation, not just for now, but for forever.
It’s on us – all of us – to learn from those who understand racial prejudice, to develop the understanding of those who don’t, and to take time to self-educate on the challenges of Black, and under-served communities. Not just in America, but across the world.
At Gymshark, we’re all taking time to educate our peers, our families and ourselves.
TO DO THAT WE MUST ALL HEAR EACH OTHER, AND STAND WITH EACH OTHER.
TODAY. TOMORROW. ALWAYS.’
