Levi Strauss is a supporter of anti-gun groups that attempt to pass legislation that heavily restrict gun ownership. We recognize these attacks on our rights to be unconstitutional and will not support any person, organization or entity that actively engages or supports violating our rights.

The ideas being brought up by the organizations that Levi Strauss and Company support are purportedly "common-sense" and "respectful" of law-abiding gun owners, neither of which are true. Groups such as these seek to ban regular capacity magazines or "assault rifles" despite enormous evidence to suggest that the impacts of such legislation would be limited at best. The majority of mass shootings seen in the United States have an underlying issue of mental health, which, if addressed, could prevent nearly all future occurrences. The Columbine High School shootings were committing during the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban. The shooters employed non-assault weapons and limited capacity magazines in their onslaught. Legislation against a firearm that accounts for 1.4% of gun crime yearly in the US will not solve the problem.

We pledge to boycott all Levi Strauss and Company products, and will continue to do so for the duration of their support of groups that attack our civil rights.
