San Francisco-based Levi’s Strauss & Company announced earlier today that they would be contributing over a million dollars, and matching all employee contributions, to organizations who advocated for gun control.
You may remember Levi’s CEO Chip Bergh, in a clear rebuke to Second Amendment supporters and Donald Trump voters, asked customers not to exercise their rights in his stores after the 2016 election.
The “Washington TImes” reports:
Mr. Bergh previously made national headlines after the 2016 presidential election when he asked customers to no longer bring firearms into Levi Strauss retail stores.
According to the “The Hill” publication, Levi’s will team up with chief gun grabbing financier, Michael Bloomberg, to ram gun control down the throats of the American people:
Levi Strauss’s CEO and President Chip Bergh wrote in Fortune on Tuesday that the company “simply cannot stand by silently when it comes to issues that threaten the very fabric of the communities where we live and work.”

“You may wonder why a company that doesn’t manufacture or sell guns is wading into this issue, but for us, it’s simple,” Bergh wrote. “Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear of gun violence. It’s an issue that affects all of us — all generations and all walks of life.”
Levi’s, therefore, announced a new three-tiered initiative to support gun violence prevention.
The company will donate more than $1 million over the next four years to nonprofits and youth activists that work to end gun violence, establishing the “Safer Tomorrow Fund.”
The blue jean manufacturer also partnered with gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety and other executives to form Everytown Business Leaders for Gun Safety.

Until you can demonstrate in areas like Chicago, where good people can’t get guns, that gun control saves lives…just hush your mouth. Interesting marketing for Levi’s. I’ll be buying dif brand.

Because Levi’s solution is to ban guns. Zero focus on the criminals. #gunsense #guncontrol from the leadership at Levi as they sit in their gated / security protected homes and offices.
