I Am WomanKind - New York, NY

Their causes are domestic violence, human trafficking, and sexual violence. They were a random customer and while we print tees for them occasionally, I'm not aware if they were for any events being held or many specifics.

Though our plans to expand our advocacy efforts were initiated before the presidential election, advocacy takes on greater urgency and carries more profound, life-changing implications. The survivors we serve, along with their communities, are frightened because of immigration concerns, hate crimes, the potential of widening gaps in the social welfare safety net, loss of health insurance, and the decline of affordable housing, among other concerns.

Survivors of violence may be re-traumatized by these heart-stopping fears and may be especially vulnerable. But their safety and security remains paramount to our work.
