Twenty-five major retail and fashion brands signed on to a letter today released by the Open to All campaign—an anti-discrimination effort that counts 200+ nonprofits and more than 300,000 businesses as members—that urges the corporate world to examine and address racial disparities related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The letter slams the recent uptick in attacks on Asians and Asian Americans, and also calls on employers to reduce overall racial inequities by increasing diverse hiring practices. The 25 signatory brands linked Covid-19’s disproportionate impact on people of color to socioeconomic inequality, saying that employers must commit to strengthening diversity and inclusion efforts moving forward.
