Black Lives Matter

Swede Farms, Inc. is a small, local, family run business and we are proud of our diverse and dedicated staff, made up of different races, religions, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, and backgrounds.  Along with most of the world, we were sickened by the vile and callous murder of a Black man, George Floyd, by a White Minneapolis, Minnesota police officer, as three other officers stood by doing nothing.  This blatant display of abuse of power and systemic racism in our country is abhorrent and must change. 

Swede Farms supports the Black community, racial equality and racial justice. Therefore, we will be donating a percentage of sales for the month of June, split equally between the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. Bergen-Passaic NJ Chapter and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. They are both 501 (c)(3) organizations. The mission of the NCBW is to advocate on behalf of Black women and girls to promote leadership development and gender equity in the areas of health, education and economic empowerment. The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. is America’s premier legal organization fighting for racial justice. Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, LDF seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities, and achieve racial justice in a society that fulfills the promise of equality for all Americans.

For more information about these organizations, visit their websites at www.ncbwbergenpassaic.org and www.naacpldf.org.  Let’s all stand together and support each other through these difficult times.
