Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for a better world. Dr. King believed in action and equality, and that change is possible when we support each other. That’s what we’re working toward when we show up to protect the people and places we love. Whether it’s volunteering to protect our wild spaces or supporting your local community, there are many ways to be part of something greater. If you’re looking for where to start, connect with a nonprofit organization near you through Patagonia Action Works at Photo 1: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. leads a march for voting rights for Black Americans from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, alongside other civil rights leaders.

We’re providing direct support to our LA-based colleagues and have ramped up funding to our longtime disaster relief partner Americares. Our payment partner, Adyen, will also match donations made at customer checkout online.

If you can, please join us in donating to Americares. Your support will speed up disaster relief and expand access to critical medical supplies.

We want to express our gratitude to the Tribes and NGOs who are diligently working to protect the Arctic Refuge. Read more about their work below.

What’s it like to be the last of something? What does it feel like when a 36-year commitment ends? Karin and Lennart face the completion of nearly four decades of observing and recording the weather eight times a day, every day, from the lighthouse in Falsterbo, Sweden. What did they learn? Would they do it again? What’s next? Watch the full film to find out Directed by Maja Karlsson Mikkelsen Produced by Adam Mikkelsen

“The steepest rock face I’ve ever seen blasts out through the tumultuous Atlantic swell around the remote isle of Soay on St. Kilda, the westernmost landmass in the United Kingdom. We’d climbed four pitches of globular features formed by volcanic events nearly 60 million years ago, but we still had another 100 meters to go and it didn’t look like it got any easier. The only thing separating us from a solid belay ledge was a huge bulge above, and if the rock up there was as sketchy as what I’d just pulled off, how the hell were we going to push through?” —Robbie Phillips Check out Robbie’s feature-length film about his St. Kilda trip on YouTube

As a younger alpinist, Josh Wharton used to take risks that concerned even other climbers. Now, as a father, Josh still thinks risk is a valuable part of life, but it requires more careful calculation. “I see risk as a bank account now,” he says. “You should only make withdrawals if it’s something really rewarding.” Watch “Jirishanca” at

We’re taking some time off. Our stores will be closed December 25 through January 1. Some days are for building gear. Others are for using it. We’re taking a holiday break so our employees can head outside, touch grass (or snow or rock or dirt) and make some memories of their own. Photo: Andrew Burr

“Our crew’s nothing special. We’re just a group of people that need houses and need jobs and need a why.” —Danny Desjarlais, Lower Sioux Hemp Program and Housing Project Manager Growing, processing and building with hemp has created an opportunity for the Lower Sioux Indian Community to address the dual crises of affordable housing and unemployment. By managing all aspects of production, they’ve built the first self-sufficient hempcrete model of its kind in the US. And they’re building safer, more resilient and energy-efficient homes that stand up to Minnesota’s humid summers and freezing winters. Watch “The Green Buffalo” at

Thank you to everyone who helped support climate candidates this past election. Over the next four years, we’ll need to invest even more in people-powered movements to defend our lands, waters and communities. It’s these movements—made up of grassroots organizations and national coalitions—that can resist environmental rollbacks and create local protections. Our business has supported these groups for the past 50 years, and we’re not slowing down. We’ll keep funding them—and building ways for you to support them, too. When you’re ready, visit to get started. Together, our actions are never wasted. Like a river, they build momentum. Like a tree, they grow roots.

“Visit with respect, reverence and humility.” That’s how the five Tribes of the Bears Ears Coalition (@savebearsears) welcomed Patagonia Climbing Ambassadors Tommy Caldwell, Kitty Calhoun and Krissy Moehl to their ancestral homelands for a two-day gathering on responsible recreation.

In a mutual exchange of sport and dialogue, the Patagonia ambassadors gained a deeper understanding of how Bears Ears is not just a place for recreation, but a living cultural landscape that demands care and protection.

“Visiting with respect means recognizing that the land holds stories and memories that are sacred to the Navajo Nation and many other Tribes,” says Davina Smith, Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition representative for the Navajo Nation.
