The president and CEO of Levi Strauss & Co., Chip Bergh, has announced that the iconic company, "a pioneer of the American West," will donate more than $1 million to gun-control groups to help end "America's gun violence epidemic," a step the NRA denounced as a "particularly sad episode in the current surge in corporate virtue-signaling."
In his announcement, through a commentary in Fortune magazine, CEO Bergh stated that Levi's is "known the world over as a pioneer of the American West and one of the great symbols of American freedom." Nonetheless, "as business leaders with power in the public and political arenas, we simply cannot stand by silently when it comes to the issues that threaten the very fabric of the communities where we live and work.... [D]oing nothing is no longer an option."

Correct. They’ve been anti-gun for decades. Wrangler for me.
Will never spend a dime on them again. Looking forward to buying Wranglers!
They are no longer a US company so no surprise seeing them want to disarm Americans. Time to boycott them.
This is why I have worn Walmart generic jeans for the past 20-years.
I’ve always liked the fit of Lee Jeans. Now it is not a question.
Levis used to look good on my and my family. They’re just thin-cloth foreign junk any more. Now that my vanity is all gone, I just wear el-cheapo Arizona jeans from Penneys.

I always remember on a TV show back in the 1980s called “Fight Back” and it did a feature on Levi jeans to see how tough they were. The popular illustration shows two horses pulling the jeans from either side to demonstrate the brand’s toughness and so what the show did was try to replicate that and within seconds the pair of jeans was ripped into two separate pieces, lol.
“Levi Strauss & Co. To Donate $1 Million+ To Anti-Gun Groups”
The filthy shysters, HQ San Fagcisco, off-shored all their rags. Maybe they ought to give that million in bonuses to the the toilers who make their shit.

This will be the death knell for this over-priced leotard factory.

I have not bought Levis in years. They are out there and their jeans fit like they were cut for females.
“The iconic company”, is just a name these days.
So, anyone with instatwitterbook accounts that would like to “share” this info? After all, sharing is caring. ;-)
Time to break out my old @LEVIS 501s. Corporate leadership, when it comes to gun violence, is crucial in creating the change that needs to happen. I 👏🏻 and stand with Levi’s and will buy often. Like @Nike doing the 💪🏻👍🏻thing!— Jamie Lee Curtis (@jamieleecurtis) September 11, 2018
I don’t wear dungarees, but I knew that Levi’s has been a longtime Planned Parenthood contributor.

As shoppers, and personal protection users, we simply cannot stand by silently when it comes to the propaganda that threatens the very safety of the communities where we live and work.
Thank you Levi Strauss for self-identifying as destroyers of freedom.
