New Balance: Donate $400K (Same Amount You Gave Trump) to Charities Now Under Threat.

The Issue

OVERVIEW:
New Balance founder and president Jim Davis gave Donald Trump's campaign $400,000 - a huge amount that helped him win the presidency. Also, New Balance reps continue to tweet support for Trump, leading the Neo-Nazis to embrace New Balance as the “official shoes of white people.”

Every New Balance product you purchase supports Trump's bigotry, hate, misogyny, xenophobia and racism, and your cash will help fund the next Trump campaign or that of those who share his dangerously un-American worldview. Finally, New Balance's support of Trump belies the ideals of fair play, mutual respect, and internationalism that are at the heart of global athletics and sport.

THE BOYCOTT:
Until New Balance lives up to its mission statement by 1) disowning Trump's hate and denigration of the disabled (who make us all so proud at the Special Olympics), and 2) making a $400,000 donation (equal to the amount they gave to Trump's campaign) to causes that align with their supposed values, we will continue to urge a complete global boycott. 

ACCEPTABLE ORGANIZATIONS TO SEND YOUR $400K CHECK:
- Southern Poverty Law Center
- American Civil Liberties Union
- Pro-Publica
- Planned Parenthood
