Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

We're in business to save our home planet.
- Patagonia is proud to join the Stop Hate for Profit campaign. We will pull all ads on Facebook and Instagram, effective immediately, through at least the end of July, pending meaningful action from the social media giant.
- Patagonia stopped all paid advertising on Facebook platforms in June 2020 because they spread hate speech and misinformation about climate change and our democracy. We continue to stand by that boycott 16 months later.
- This is the largest elimination of protected land in American history. Take Action: pat.ag/BearsEarsTakeA… #BearsEars
- Replying to @patagoniaFor too long, Facebook has failed to take sufficient steps to stop the spread of hateful lies and dangerous propaganda on its platform.
- Replying to @patagoniaInstead of “going public,” you could say we’re “going purpose.” Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth. Read Yvon's letter at pat.ag/Ownership
- Replying to @patagoniaWe stand with #StopHateforProfit in saying Facebook’s ‘profits will never be worth promoting hate, bigotry, racism, antisemitism, and violence. - Cory Bayers, Head of Marketing, Patagonia
- Replying to @patagoniaWe encourage other businesses to join us in pushing Facebook to prioritize people and the planet over profit. —Ryan Gellert, CEO, Patagonia
- Replying to @patagoniaFrom secure elections to a global pandemic to racial justice, the stakes are too high to sit back and let the company continue to be complicit in spreading disinformation and fomenting fear and hatred.
- Replying to @patagoniaAs companies across the country work hard to ensure that Americans have access to free and fair elections this fall, we can’t stand by and contribute resources to companies that contribute to the problem.
- The Trump administration announced yesterday it will open up all 16.7 million acres of the Tongass National Forest, the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest to logging & other forms of development. pat.ag/TreesDoBetterTW
- Replying to @patagoniaFacebook’s leadership knows what steps it can take to mitigate such harm -- yet they have repeatedly failed to reform. We believe Facebook has a responsibility to make sure its products do no harm, and until they do, Patagonia will continue to withhold our advertising.
- Replying to @MaggieJordanACNWe're a company that proudly embraces our activism on issues like the environment, our democracy, and equality and we don't plan on backing down anytime soon.
