发帖数: 238 | 1 Outdoor Clothing Giant Patagonia Pledging to Lead Resistance to Trump
The CEO of outdoor clothing giant Patagonia is burnishing her anti-
Republican bona fides again, this time saying she intends to pledge her
entire company to the “resistance” of President Donald Trump.
Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario recently attacked President Trump for his
statements about rolling back President Obama’s unusually aggressive
campaign of confiscating millions of acres of state lands and claiming them
as “national monuments.”
“We have to fight like hell to keep every inch of public land,” Marcario
said in a May article at Huffpost. “I don’t have a lot of faith in
politics and politicians right now.”
In an effort to prevent citizens from retaking possession of their state
lands, one of her immediate actions will be to sue the Trump administration
for its efforts to scale back Obama’s unprecedented land grab.
“A president does not have the authority to rescind a national monument,”
Marcario said in an April 26 statement after Trump announced his national
monuments order. “An attempt to change the boundaries ignores the review
process of cultural and historical characteristics and the public input.”
In particular, the Trump administration is preparing to revisit Obama’s
order to create the Bears Ears National Monument. In April, Trump issued an
executive order requiring the Department of the Interior to review Obama’s
actions on national monuments. Ordering Interior Secretary Ray Zinke to
review Obama’s policies in April, President Trump called Obama’s move an
“egregious abuse of federal power.”
Many state governments fully agree with Trump’s assessment and were furious
when Obama swooped in from Washington and stole away millions of acres of
land from state control to create new national monuments and parks.
A poll of residents of Utah, for instance, showed that 60 percent opposed
Obama’s land grab, while only 33 percent supported it.
Along with the possible lawsuit, Marcario said Patagonia would use its
profits to back pro-environmental candidates in states throughout the West.
This is far from the first time the sportswear company pledged its profits
to political matters. Last year, the California-based company spent over $1
million for a get-out-the-vote campaign to defeat Donald Trump and
Republicans.
But, despite its acclaimed high-minded activism, Patagonia has a troubled
history of its own, having been tied to human trafficking and child labor in
its supply chain.
