Duckworth, Booker Renew Push to Ban the U.S. Sale and Manufacturing of "K-Leather" & Protect Kangaroos from Largest Commercial Slaughter in the World

11 months 4 weeks ago
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) reintroduced legislation to ban the sale and manufacturing of products made from kangaroo skin, also known as “k-leather.” After years of the two lawmakers leading the charge on this issue, this week Mizuno and UMBRO joined cleat manufacturing giants—including Nike, Adidas, Puma and ASICS—in pledging to halt production of k-leather in their soccer cleats and other products.

EAST ALTON/WOOD RIVER - Emmanuel Kitchener, a 22-year-old area resident and former Special Olympics athlete, will celebrate his birthday with a party at 2 p.m. on July 26, 2025, at 215 Lincoln Avenue in East Alton.
