Patta Stands for Freedom, Solidarity, and Intersectionality
“At Patta, we believe in the liberation of all people, no matter where they are in the world. We hold a fundamental principle close to our hearts: no human is illegal. In a world filled with divisions, we stand for unity and the right to self-determination for all. In the face of the ongoing injustice in Palestine, Patta feels compelled to speak up. Our commitment to social justice extends beyond borders, and we stand in solidarity with those who seek freedom and justice. We support the rights and dignity of all people, irrespective of their background.
As a black-owned brand, we understand the importance of solidarity and allyship. We’ve been there, shoulder to shoulder, in recent times when our community faced its own challenges and rose up during the Black Lives Matter movement. Now, it’s time for us to stand tall again. Just as we’ve supported each other, we stand with our allies who are seeking peace and justice in the Middle East.
Our stance is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves respect and the right to live in a safe and just world. We recognize that our team and community are diverse, and we wholeheartedly support the idea of intersectionality. We understand the complexities of growing up in a diaspora, facing a unique set of challenges, and navigating through the multiple facets of identity. By speaking up on the ongoing injustice in Palestine we reaffirm our commitment to liberation, justice, peace, and the freedom of all people. We stand against hatred, discrimination, and violence in all its forms.
Patta will continue to use its platform to educate our community and promote unity, understanding, and the collective pursuit of emancipation for everyone. Because at the heart of our brand, we got love for all, and that’s a principle we’ll never compromise on.”
That’s Bone stands with Patta and Humanity.
On this date, in 1971, the Pittsburgh Pirates fielded the first all Black / Latino starting line-up in NL/AL history.
24 years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, history was made yet again. History I believe deserves celebration of equal measure.
