REI’s Election Results Are In - WE WON

WE DID IT!!! The election results are in and we won! Co-Op members officially blocked all of REI’s cherry-picked, corporate-backed candidates from joining our Board of Directors! 

REI announced the results this morning during its annual members meeting, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Our Vote NO campaign led to over 100,000 Co-Op members like you showing up to vote on the REI website, making this likely the highest turnout for a board election in REI history. That’s MAJOR! This is a huge win for REI Co-Op members and staff and a wake up call for REI's Board.

We need the REI board to correct course from union busting and hiding behind Trump’s lawyers and return to our Co-Op’s founding principles and democratic values.

Thank you to everyone who voted! This win is proof that your vote and your voice matter. 

While the election is over, it’s still important for REI’s new CEO to hear from members about our frustrations with the Co-Op’s ongoing anti-worker behavior. Send CEO Mary Beth Laughton a letter to demand REI stop union busting and return to its democratic roots. Click here to write a quick letter.
