BLACK
Black Americans are 3x more likely to be killed by police.
LIVES
Every 7 hours a cop ends the life of an American citizen.
MATTER
A black person is 5x more likely to be stopped without just cause.
We must continue to uplift black individuals as we fight against systemic racism and police brutality that unfairly and disproportionately affects the black and brown community. That is why we will donate $1 of each sale from "I Support Black Business" apparel to the following organizations.

PLUS COUNTLESS MORE...
On April 20th, we saw a white police officer held accountable for the first time in Minnesota state history for using lethal brutality against an unarmed Black man. We watched with bated breath after almost a year of protesting and public outcry while Derrick Chauvin was tried for the death of George Floyd. We won't lie. The day of the verdict at PuffCuff headquarters was an intense one. One where we were not sure if we would see justice for a man plainly murdered on video, a video seen by countless individuals across the world. The uncertainty we felt during the hearings, followed by the death of Ma'Khia Bryant, made it clear to us that while we may have ultimately seen justice for George Floyd, our work against police brutality and systemic racism is far from done.
We must continue to uplift Black individuals as we fight against systemic racism and police brutality that unfairly and disproportionately affects Black and brown communities. That is why we will donate $1 of each "I Support Black Business" apparel sale to support civil rights and anti-police-brutality organizations, specifically the African American Policy Forum, the Know Your Rights Camp, and the Grassroots Law Project. With the announcement of new anti-protesting legislation and legislation aiming to reduce police accountability, we must use our platform to stand against oppressive measures used to silence the voices of black and brown individuals throughout the United States.
