Fashion Nova, the clothing retailer known for its relationship with Cardi B, is backing up its words with money. The company announced it’s donating $1 million to organizations fighting for racial equality on Wednesday (June 3).
“Last Friday we announced that we were working on a plan to support the #blacklivesmatter movement,” the company wrote Instagram. “We have spent the past four days since then working with black community leaders, influencers and ambassadors to develop a plan. Today, Fashion Nova Cares announces our dedication to ongoing action. We are pledging to spend $1 million dollars throughout 2020 in donations for community resources and activism, awareness campaigns and other initiatives to help in the fight for racial equality and opportunity.”
