CEOs Chip Bergh from Levi Strauss (pictured, left), Lauren Hobart from Dick’s Sporting Goods (pictured, right), and 248 other company heads are sending a letter to the Senate on Thursday asking for more gun control.
Axios acquired a copy of the letter, which replicates a letter that was originally sent to Congress in 2019. There are some revisions to the message and an increased number of signatories.
The push to re-send the letter is the result of a partnership between Levi’s and Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety.
In the letter, CEOs describe gun violence as a “public health crisis,” noting economic impact of gun crime and the human cost of gun crime.

I couldn't care less what 1 million CEOs think about guns. I've seen plenty of lousy CEOs rung good company's into the ground.

Levi's and Dick's are already 'woke' so I don't GAS what they think...and the 'public health crisis' is all the lunatics running around gunning down people...NOT the guns....

It always surprises me when a sporting goods store that sells guns (or used to) and hunting gear calls for gun control. Isn't that like shooting yourself in the foot??

I’m boycotting every one of these anti American get woke go broke companies. Not a word about increasing criminal penalties for gun crimes. No talk of criminal control. No mention of defund the police not a word about no prosecution of serious crimes by woke DAs. It’s always about taking legal guns from legal gun owners that would never commit a crime with a gun.

There will most certainly be economic impact for both Levi's and Dick's. I no longer patronize either one and will continue to not do so. Half of America will soon be doing the same, the sane half.

Gettin'on the wrong side of 100Million Americans is a pretty strange idea about how to maintain sales.
Not even half of DEMOCRATS support more unconstitutional Gun Laws. They DO however support arresting, prosecuting, sentencing, and taking off the streets Gun CRIMINALS.

I spent my life wearing Levi's...the LAST time they signed this letter they had sold me my last pair.
Turns out Wranglers are better, fit better, last longer any way, never would have known that.

The CEO's should sign their names as individuals, not over a company name. A company should not allow themselves to be hijacked by a CEO pursuing political activism.

The " demand " , like toddlers demand whatever or they will throw a fit. So what is the or else that Levis is going to do , ask to see party affiliation before they sell a pair of jeans ?

Constitutional rights are not voted on by CEOs. Shut up and tend to your damned, shrinking businesses.

As I've become fond of saying, don't be Dick's.

The killer used a gun, so guns should be banned! Did the killers wear Levi's? Did they ever ride in an Uber to Dicks Sporting Goods? Maybe they used or were customers of the other Woke companies. Maybe these companies should be banned or shut down since their product were used during a mass murder event or contributed to the conditions leading to it.

It isn't enough to boycott these woke companies, share this information with anyone who'll listen. Boycotts rarely cause permanent damage because people's memories are short and must be reminded constantly. This isn't about products, it's about the survival of America. Bankrupt these companies.

I used to wear Levi's until they went full gay pandering decades ago. Never been in a Dick's and have no reason to.

A cabal of enormously rich corporations publicly demand our Constitutional Rights be immediately violated, and that we continue to pay them for their products. Humm.... I'm feeling a "No" coming on.
