Coach Announces Partnership With “More Than A Vote”
Coach announces its partnership with More Than A Vote, a new voting rights organization led by LeBron James and a coalition of Black athletes and entertainers aimed at combating voter suppression and misinformation that disproportionately disenfranchises communities of color.
“America cannot resolve systemic racism and inequality without ending voter suppression. We are proud to partner with More Than A Vote and to work toward equal access to the ballot box for every single eligible American,” said Jide Zeitlin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Tapestry, Inc. and Interim CEO of the Coach Brand.
Coach is committed to mobilizing the full resources of the brand to help amplify MTAV’s mission to energize, educate and protect voters in U.S. cities where voter suppression and misinformation are rampant. The partnership is one step in Coach’s broader commitment to supporting nonprofits working at the forefront of addressing racial inequality, with a focus on protecting voting rights, public safety, and expanding education opportunities for Black and Latinx youth.
Coach’s support for the nonprofit will help connect influential figures to people of color and further amplify a shared message of equality, inclusivity and access to education.
“Coach is setting the pace by stepping up to the plate as a founding partner with More Than A Vote in the fight against voter suppression,” said Addisu Demissie, Executive Director of More Than A Vote. “Our power lies in the strength of our collective voices. We’re incredibly grateful to have Coach’s voice from day one. Their generosity will pay dividends in our efforts to combat systematic attempts to limit access to the ballot box and strip Black citizens and other people of color of their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote.”
