Lifting up Black-owned businesses: how you can support
We are proud to partner with Black-owned businesses each and every day. It is critical that we show our support and love for brands founded and led by innovative, inspiring, visionary Black women and men.
It’s time to learn, listen, and advocate. There are many ways we can take action today: being an ally, donating to organizations that support social justice and equality, and voting in local elections, and supporting organizations founded and led by Black women and men. Next time you shop, consider supporting the incredible black-owned businesses that partner with Afterpay -- you can find them in our shop directory here.
We will continue to lift them up today and tomorrow. We will reflect on what we can do to remain constant and vocal supporters of equality. We will use our voice to condemn racial injustice. We will use our platform to amplify the voices that need to be heard. In addition, Afterpay has also donated to the NAACP to further the fight for racial justice, and are working on additional ways to advocate for Black rights.
To our black business owners, our black community, and their allies: We stand with you. We hear you. Thank YOU for bringing your voices and actions to drive positive, lasting change.
