We Hear You. We See You. We Stand With You. Black Lives matter - Father's Factory

We Hear You. We See You. We Stand With You. Black Lives matter

There is always room for improvement. As a small company, Father's Factory always did what we could to contribute. As we paused and learned these week, here are few steps that we are taking moving forward:

• We are participating in various auctions and giveaways/donations to raise money for organizations like BLM. Stay tuned for more info to come.

• We are committing to be more inclusive and diverse in our campaigns and images on our social platforms and websites. This is the first step we are taking to show representations of the diverse communities we have.

• We are continuously educating ourselves with books, stories, and movies on the Black history, starting at our own home.
