I saw this and was inspired to donate. Thanks TR for being good corporate stewards!
This kind of thing makes me both hopeful and sad. It is encouraging and inspiring to see companies/organizations that are willing to take action to make positive change. On the other hand, I wish we lived in a society where our elected officials and social institutions would take steps to address deep seated problems, rather than ignoring or exacerbating them.
Anyway, on this particular day, I will choose to see the positive side. Thanks TR!
I bought the mug and t-shirt off their bonfire site. The t-shirt is very soft but also a little on the āathleticā fit side and may have shrunk in the wash a little. So depending on where you usually fall in sizing you may want to lean toward the larger size. For reference, Iām 6ft, 185 lb (I lift so maybe bigger shoulders and chest then a stereotypical cyclist) and I wouldnāt go any smaller than the large I got.
Alsoā¦quite telling that there are zero derisive comments on this thread concerning the matter vs quick-to-respond comments on other non-TR-in-action threads on the same matter.
Saying Iām honestly confused by USA Cyclingās email is not derisive. Without getting too personal, Iām literally a child of the civil rights movement. What Iām seeing is another epic fail, on par with the Detroit riots of 1967 (which I still remember) and LA riots of 1992. Political leaders on both sides have taken to social media and are fanning the flames of division.
Thank you @Nate_Pearson and Team. Putting my money toward a quality cause was far better than posting yet another trite comment in the cacophony of social media.
Not really. There was another thread thanking USAC for upping their accountability and responsibility, just as we are thanking TR for theirs, the derisive and ignorant comments began almost immediately. I see no such activity here. Goes to speak to the character and aims of such people.
That said, seeing as how this is such a monumentally emotion-driven subject merely goes to show that it is still very much alive and kicking, even after centuries after being āabolishedā.
Itās also sadly hilarious to note that trxmp wants to enact a law which is largely in part about protecting the rights, freedoms, and actual bodies of African-Americans.
Now that thatās cleared upā¦how to achieve change via āracial justice, equality and an inclusive societyā without calling out the questionable actions of othersā¦?
Why are we doing this here? Maybe start another āno thank youā thread and we can all jump over there can debate the basis of things and Doughnut can call out character issues there. We canāt even say thank you without it putting someone off or starting a political debate? Enough with the vitriol.
