#PullUpOrShutUp: Plus Size Brands That Are Supporting Black Lives Matter

In every community and every movement, allies are extremely important. Both the Civil Rights and Black Lives Matter Movements are for and by Black people, but the support of other races helps energize the movements also. Normally most brands make an effort to remain neutral claiming that they don't want to “get political", but with the stakes being so high, Black people and their supporters are demanding that brands pull up or shut up.

Protests sparked by the recent murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Auhmad Arbery paired with decades of murdered Black people; and over 400 years of abuse, oppression, and hardship has force brands to be more vocal. This round of the movement is being both televised and socialized with black people and non-black supports demanding brands to choose a side. Although the responses vary, many major companies have unapologetically declared their solidarity in support of our fight for justice and some have pledged funds. Here are a few of them.

Silence isn’t an option. We share the sorrow and outrage of the world over the grave injustice leading to the tragic loss of George Floyd's life, along with Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade and so many other Black lives. We may be a brand, but we’re also made up of real people who care deeply about standing alongside ALL our ASOSers. That means we also understand just how important it is to put meaningful action behind all that we do. So, we will be making a donation to a relevant organization in the coming days. We’re constantly working on ways to support positive change and we’ll continue to give a voice to important conversations, today and always. We hear you and we stand with you.

We will do better At PrettyLittleThing we are proud of our diversity and we acknowledge that we have embraced the Black culture across all aspects of our brand, however we admit we can and will do better and we commit to reviewing what we do . To help us make the right moves, we will create a diversity board, made up of the people across our brands who are closest to the issues, to review our business and create a plan for change. Our silence is not us not acknowledging what is going on, it is us taking the time to get it right.

Yes, this is a short list but this should occupy you for a while because we all know, "women be shopping" or at least that's what Dave Chappelle said.

Also, pay attention to the brands that are being silent or making vague statements that will appease you. They don't really care about you as much as they do your money.

We know that you are a fan of Mixed Martial Arts, and want to watch UFC 253 Live. But you are not in the country, and you will usually watch this fight, then you will probably find that its coverage is geographically limited.
