Working Together to End Racism.
Amid the recent protests in the names and memories of the countless people of color who have experienced brutality at the hands of police, Ladro recognizes that the underlying issue informing this violence is racism. Through a family connection, Ladro has gained familiarity with the broad scope of anti-racism work done by The Village of Hope. We know the time to get directly involved is now, and our new friends- and hopefully long term collaborators- at the Village have given us a great space to begin to contribute and learn how to be the best business and individual allies we can be to our local community members of color. As our first step, we have created this blend to help generate funds, awareness and support for their numerous channels.
$3 per bag of this blend will be donated directly to The Village of Hope.
