Response to Supreme Court Roe v. Wade Overturn

Following the Dobbs decision, Soko Glam leadership expressed support for reproductive rights and the health of their employees, aligning with the broader beauty industry's progressive stance on abortion access.

Notes: The company joined several beauty brands in publicizing support for reproductive healthcare.

Agent rationale

Support for reproductive rights is a defining issue separating progressive/liberal entities from the MAGA movement, which claims the overturn of Roe v. Wade as a major victory.

Condemnation of Anti-Asian Hate and Rhetoric

Soko Glam and founder Charlotte Cho issued strong public statements condemning the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes, specifically criticizing the 'whitewashing' of Asian beauty and the harmful political rhetoric that intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Notes: This followed the Atlanta spa shootings and general rise in AAPI hate.

Agent rationale

The company's stance directly countered the 'China Virus' rhetoric frequently used by Donald Trump and MAGA proponents, positioning the brand in opposition to that political narrative.

Donations to AAPI Community Fund

Soko Glam made corporate donations to the AAPI Community Fund and GoFundMe.org to combat hate crimes and support victims of racially motivated violence.

Agent rationale

Financial support for organizations specifically fighting the 'Stop AAPI Hate' cause is a direct response to the political climate of the era, often framed as a rejection of Trump-era rhetoric.

David Cho's Participation in Progressive Entrepreneurship Networks

Co-founder David Cho has participated in Columbia University's entrepreneurship programs that emphasize social impact and ethical business practices over traditional conservative market approaches.

Notes: While early, this set the foundation for the company's social-first approach.

Agent rationale

The focus on 'social impact' in business is often associated with ESG and progressive corporate governance, which are frequently criticized by MAGA leaders.
