Dear customers,
We want to be clear about something that matters to us.
Combat Candy is not a neutral company. It never has been. This business exists because real people built it, work for it, and support it. Our values do not stop at the warehouse door or the checkout page.
We are openly opposed to ICE and the systems of immigration enforcement that rely on detention, family separation, and the criminalization of migration. This position is not symbolic and it is not vague. It is intentional.
There is a common idea that businesses should stay out of politics. We do not believe that is honest. Every business makes value decisions every day. Who gets hired. Who gets protected. Whose labor is invisible. Whose suffering is considered acceptable collateral. Silence is not neutrality. It is alignment with whatever already exists.
Combat sports, fitness, and labor driven spaces are built by immigrants and working class communities. Many of the strongest gyms, teams, kitchens, factories, and training rooms in this country are held together by people who live with constant uncertainty and fear. To profit from those communities while refusing to speak when they are harmed would be a choice. We refuse to make that choice.
This company is not separate from its founders. Our ethics show up in how we source, how we speak, and what we are willing to say out loud. If those values disappeared the moment money entered the picture, they would not be values at all.
To put action behind our words, we are offering free shipping with the code RESIST.
Proceeds from orders using this code will be donated to civil and human rights organizations actively fighting detention, deportation, and the abuse of state power. The organizations we support will be public information and shared on a rotating basis through our story posts, so customers can see exactly where funds are going and why. (Continued in caption)
