Silence. It’s something we actively seek out. On river beds at dawn. In deer stands in the cold woods. But sometimes, silence speaks volumes. In light of this weekend’s events and the injustices committed against black, brown, and indigenous communities carried out by institutions of power for generations, it’s time to speak up. We stand in solidarity against racism. We don’t claim to have all the answers. We know there’s plenty of work to be done, and that’s something we’ve never shied away from. Silence is no longer an option. Standing together and lifting our voices against hate is just the first step of a long road to bring about change.
Words ring hollow without action. Filson has made donations to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Washington chapter of the ACLU.
We encourage everyone to look into local organizations, engage with their own communities and stick together.
