Tapestry
—Kim Bhasin (@KimBhasin) June 1, 2020The words: "We can replace our windows and handbags, but we cannot bring back George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Emmett Till, and too many others. Each of these black lives matter," Tapestry CEO Jide Zeitlin wrote.
The executive wrote about his own experiences and said that brands hold a responsibility toward making change.
The action: Tapestry is creating a plan that will be announced soon, Zeitlin wrote.
"We are working through a plan that we look forward to sharing with you. We want to convene a number of social justice, legal, and corporate entities to formulate a longer-term plan for addressing systemic inequality. Inequality in health, economic opportunity, public safety, and other sectors. We hope to join with government, but events of this past week make it clear that we cannot wait."
