KAWS joins the growing number of artists, brands, labels, and other public figures who are contributing in a variety of ways to social justice organizations. Just last week, for example, Supreme stepped up with a pledge of $500,000 to be distributed among Black Lives Matter, Equal Justice Initiative, Campaign Zero, and Black Futures Lab.
