    Black Lives
    Matter

    By Rebag June 18, 2020

    To our Rebag community… It is important that

    we stand in solidarity with the Black community and do our part to support in every way we can. Our first response in doing so was to donate to the NAACP Empowerment Programs, and to provide our team with anti-racism resources that are actionable right now.

    We understand that the solution needs to be more holistic, and we will do our share to enable change, starting with finding ways for our team to educate ourselves on an ongoing basis; uplifting and promoting Black voices; and embracing diversity and inclusivity in how we present our brand and product to you. There is much work to be done, and we will continue our work to both listen and do better.

    Black Lives Matter,
    Charles Gorra, Founder & CEO
