Keep Pushing To End Racism 2023
Join the movement to help create a brighter future for BIPOC communities
Tactics is honored to commemorate the anniversary of its Keep Pushing to End Racism campaign, which is aimed at raising awareness of systemic racism and promoting equality within the skateboarding community. During this year's Black History Month, Tactics is acknowledging the past and doing its part in helping to create a brighter future for BIPOC communities by donating all proceeds from the Keep Pushing collection to local organizations: The NAACP Lane County, The Father's Group in Bend, and Urban League of Portland.
The collection features a t-shirt and skateboard with the message "Keep Pushing to End Racism". This skateboard deck is made from a sustainably sourced FSC Certified Hard Rock Sugar Maple. FSC ensures that the forest is managed to benefit local people, workers, and the environment. Similarly, the t-shirt is made from Better Cotton Initiative-certified fabric, free of harmful chemicals, and produced in an eco-friendly manner.
