2025 Gift Guide

BANNED

where the words equality, equity, and inclusion are our love language

by Austin Channing Brown

'Tis the Season

The holidays are upon us, and many of us are trying to figure out how to ethically engage our year-long commitments with this particular season. I imagine some of you are boycotting, others are participating in blackouts, and still others are imagining how special their loved one is going to feel when they open the perfect gift. However you enter this season, I hope you feel at peace with your path.

Over the last few days, I took to social media to ask about the places you love to support because these companies and organizations take their own justice commitments seriously. The list is stunning, and I wanted to make it easier to read than scrolling through my comment section. So here is your 2025 Gift Guide.

Peace and Love,

Austin
