Gap Inc.

september 14, 2025

This week, we witnessed the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. This moment has caused us to pause and reflect on the importance of our shared humanity.

At Gap Inc., we have always stood for bridging gaps. It’s in our name. It’s in our DNA. We believe in the power of courageous conversations — especially in the gap between us. What better place to have courage than in that space. That’s where empathy lives. That’s where progress begins. This is not about politics. This is about humanity.

We promote the idea of open dialogue and encourage people to hear and be heard. To share opinions in constructive, not divisive ways. In that spirit, we must be clear: we condemn violence in any form.

Purpose is our North Star. It’s what makes us who we are. And this moment reminds us that our purpose has never been more meaningful. Now, more than ever, we need people in the gaps between us. Ready to both listen and engage in respectful dialogues that move us forward, together.

At Gap Inc., Courageous Conversations is an internal forum where our teams come together to explore complex topics, bridge divides, and take action. This moment serves as a powerful catalyst — one that calls on us to have a greater impact. In the future, we will extend this platform to external audiences, creating a space for broader dialogue and engagement.

It’s who we are. It’s how we matter, and I’m confident we can matter even more.

Let’s be the bridge.
