Jeans-maker Levi's has offered woke counselling from a 'racial trauma specialist' to 'encourage healing' after Kyle Rittenhouse was cleared of murder.

Levi's chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer, Elizabeth Morrison, sent a letter to staff that began: 'With the news that Kyle Rittenhouse was not convicted in the shooting of three individuals – two of whom lost their lives – during racial justice protests last year, this is a difficult day for many.'

Morrison offered 24-hour mental health care for those suffering the 'pain and trauma of race, identity and belief-based tragedies.'

She added: 'To help promote safety, sharing and to encourage healing, I'll be hosting a fireside chat and Q&A with Dr. Jamila Codrington, a licensed psychologist and racial trauma specialist in early December.'

Rittenhouse, 18, was cleared of all charges, including first-degree intentional homicide, last Friday after he shot dead two white men and wounded a third during Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020.
