Nike isn’t the only company that’s decided to try its hand at political activism this week. On Tuesday, Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Chip Bergh published a piece for Fortuneoutlining his company’s official plans to team up with Michael Bloomberg’s “Everytown for Gun Safety” group to fund new efforts at promoting gun control legislation with other American business leaders.

“I’m proud to announce,” Bergh said in the piece, “that Levi Strauss & Co. is partnering with Everytown for Gun Safety and executives including Michael Bloomberg to form Everytown Business Leaders for Gun Safety, a coalition of business leaders who believe, as we do, that business has a critical role to play in and a moral obligation to do something about the gun violence epidemic in this country.”

After lamenting that “Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear of gun violence” and touting his company’s history as “a pioneer of the American West and one of the great symbols of American freedom,” Bergh went through the updates that Levi and Strauss intends to make to its pro-gun control policies in some detail (Levi’s has already banned concealed and open carry of firearms in their stores nationwide).

Levi has been quietly political for a long time. I switched to Wrangler as a result.

At least 5 years ago.

Republicans should make sure that tax breaks aren’t handed on silver platters to companies like Levi and Nike.

Made in Texas, USA !!

It is often pointed out here the areas of our life that the liberals have taken over - education, healthcare, etc. But one area where they have gained a foothold that isn't talked about much is in the business world. This used to be the domain of more conservative individuals, but liberals now control the boardrooms of a lot of larger corporations. And with that, of course, we end up with garbage like this.

“Elites” standing together against the American people. It worked for newspapers...(/s) maybe it’ll work for jeans...

And sneakers.

Big business and big government go hand in hand. The good news is that we do have growth in small business.

Another reason to buy Wranglers or Lee’s, both better quality products.

Thanks for the link. They’re no longer made in Texas, but are (according to them) 100% made in the USA. Seems they have no women’s or children’s products? That’s weird.

Wranglers and Arizona jeans for me.

I am looking for a couple pair of jeans this weekend, sadly I had no idea Levi’s were bad guys.
It’s good to find out now though, Levi’s will never see another dime from my household.
