At our core, Kt has always been about loving, respecting and honoring all people. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have work to do when it comes to continuously supporting our Black and Brown communities. Right now, we are dedicating time to think about our privilege, educate ourselves, and find concrete and actionable ways to support each other— both within our workplace, and throughout our broader community. Right now, we are dedicating ourselves to a better future. A future where systemic racism and police brutality are abolished. A future where #BlackLivesMatter.
Knix (together with Kt) will be committing ourselves to a $100,000 donation in support of Black Lives Matter. We will be donating an immediate $25,000, combined with an ongoing $75,000 of proceeds from our Knix Nudes Collection and Postpartum Collection. You can learn more about this here. We stand in full solidarity with Black Lives Matter for several reasons.
BLM is an all encompassing global organization doing work on the ground in the USA, Canada and the UK. This movement focuses on issues concerning racial injustice, police brutality, criminal justice reform, Black immigration, economic injustice, LGBTQIA+ and human rights, environmental injustice, voting rights, access to education and access to healthcare.
