It should be noted that looters and protestors are rarely the same people. Nevertheless, while the costs associated with property damage and lost merchandise are undeniable, the impact of these losses pales when compared to the realities of racially driven violence in America. Since 2019, 1,099 people have lost their lives at the hands of police, with Black people representing 24% of those killed. The percentage is staggering when you consider that Black people only make up 13% of the total population.

Responding to the damage to his New York and L.A. stores, @MarcJacobs posted a much-regrammed quote about the looting. “Never let them convince you that breaking glass or property is violence,” it read. “Hunger is violence; homelessness is violence; war is violence. Property can be replaced; human lives cannot.” Ultimately, in a time of civil unrest and racial injustice, it has never been more critical for brands to be vocal advocates of systemic change.
