Former Everlane employees are calling for a boycott of the retailer, saying that the company’s leadership isn’t doing enough to correctthemselves asby Everlane CEO Michael Preysman, who wrote that the company was taking a series of steps to ensure equal payment and anti-racism training, among other measures.
“Everlane broke us,” the document read. “Our spirit, our bodies, and our ideas were considered for their cache and cultural value. Our psyche was manipulated to fall in line with a greenwashed version of sustainability as we ourselves worked unsustainably just to be seen and acknowledged for our contributions while watching our white counterparts advance.”
Among a detailed list of steps, the group asked that the company issue public apologies acknowledging how the brand “has benefited from systemic racism,” hire Black executives, implement anti-racism training, and outline steps to retain BIPOC employees and create spaces for them to voice their concerns.
