20 Brands Celebrating and Giving Back for Pride 2020

Pride looks different this year.

At the onset of this month, the world came together to demand justice for George Floyd and an end to police brutality. And with lockdown orders still in place in much of the world, Pride parades were cancelled.

But Pride is much more than public celebrations and we can honour everything that it stands for whilst also social-distancing. One way to show your support is to donate to the incredible organizations helping LGBTQ+ community (check out these Canadian and American organizations making a difference).

Brands are also getting into socially-distant Pride celebrations with special collections, unique offers and commemoration of LGBTQ+ heroes. If you’re itching for a new tee, bathing suit or sneakers, and want to make a difference, check out these incredible companies before the month is up.
