Our official COVID Statement is as follows.

This is the worst public statement we've ever had to put out. Our hearts are breaking for everyone affected by COVID-19. This is a rapidly developing situation and we are deeply concerned about all of it, frankly.

Here is what we are pledging to do.

For the foreseeable future our Stands donations will be put towards organizations that can put food, sanitation supplies and necessities directly in the hands of the most vulnerable. We will be releasing product ahead of schedule for those

with the means to purchase now so we can fund these orgs as quickly as possible. For those of you who are not in a position to purchase anything now, we will be holding back items to re-release later in the year so that you, too, have the opportunity to own them.

Our actors are just as committed to doing their part and will be releasing ideas, donations, support and hopefully a little levity to get us all through this.

While Stands is not personally experiencing production/shipping/staffing issues, I fully expect that somewhere in the supply chain we will start to see slow downs. Please be patient when/if that happens.

I think everyone is doing their best with what they've got and your orders will get to you.

For your part, we ask this in return. Have patience with each other. Know that everyone is struggling in some way right now. There is one thing we know about the #SPNFamily is that

most of us/you have seen some shit, overcome it and pushed forward as not only survivors but champions of the underdogs. In this moment, in this time, we are the actual experts and are in the unique position to make a difference. I believe in you. I believe in us.

Stands.
