Patagonia is encouraging its employees to get out and vote early in the 2024 US election. The outdoor retailer, which has over 2,000 employees in the US, will close its stores, warehouse and offices on Oct. 29, 2024 so associates can participate in this year’s election. Employees will receive a paid day off and have the entire day to vote early and volunteer. Patagonia is partnering with the League of Conservation Voters this year to provide opportunities for its employees and the community to volunteer to knock on voters’ doors and write letters to low-propensity voters, as well as call and text voters to encourage them to vote and provide voters with resources to learn where the candidates stand on environmental issues. The company is also working with Vote Early Day, Protect Our Winters and the Civic Alliance to rally the outdoor sports and business communities around voting and volunteering in this fall’s election.
