We had something written for this but Philly from Humidity Skate Shop sums it up best. Thank you Phil for everything you do! "Bout to get deep. And fuck you if you're racist. I called Jim Thiebaud the night of the Travel Ban. I couldn't believe what the fuck was happening. I saw the ACLU step in and noticed a ton of famous people started donating to them. I honestly never heard of them before and did research and told Jim I wanted to do a board where a portion went to them. I knew Jim was the one to do it with. And he said fuck yes. I knew I wanted to use the Statue Of Liberty. Why. Well I think most of us forget what she stands for. She is the universal symbol of freedom. She stands there greeting immigrants and embodying hope and opportunity for people to start a better life in America. I have friends that parents came here on fucking boats not ships fucking boats so there kids could go to a good school. With all this fucked up shit going on, and I don't give a fuck abut your views, we need to fucking come together. That's what I believe the Statue of Liberty stands for. I don't care what country you come from, what the color of your skin is, how rich or poor you are, how good you are at skateboarding, all we care about if you good people. Love someone today. Go talk to the girl in hijab, go talk to the trash man with a mouth full of golds and face tats, ask the Asian lady that owns the corner store how her day is (y'all know they got that fire fried chicken). All I'm saying is get to know each other. I love y'all. And again fuck you if you're racist." ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 #ActionsREALized x Humidity Skate Shop for ACLU Nationwide, releases tomorrow at the shop.
