USE YOUR VOICE
In alliance with Self Evident Truths — a photographic project by iO Tillett Wright documenting 10,000 people who identify as anything other than heteronormative — Levi’s® presents Pride 2020. With 100% of net proceeds going to OutRight Action International.
This is no ordinary Pride campaign. Worn by real people and captured by iO, we bring you a line of tees, jackets, accessories and chaps (yes, we said chaps!) inspired by the resilience and beauty of a community continually speaking up in the face of institutional injustice.
Only a small sampling of iO’s decade-long undertaking, these portraits are part of a larger moment and movement. A celebration of our differences and a showcase of our shared humanity, Self Evident Truths is a pinnacle example of how just one voice can raise tens of thousands.
OUTRIGHT ACTION INTERNATIONAL
Our Pride beneficiary for a second year in a row, OutRight is a nonprofit working year-round at the international, regional and national levels to research, document, defend and advance human rights for LGBTQ+ people around the world. It's the only LGBTQ+ organization that has a permanent presence to advocate at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Their major stake at the UN, along with their special consultative status, allows them to shed light on the concerns of LGBTQ+ people globally.
