AWAKE NY Unites 16 Brands to Support Immigrant Communities with “Protect People” T-Shirt

AWAKE NY has just dropped a must-have item for any fashion-forward activist. The brand’s latest release, a “Protect People” T-shirt, is a collaboration with 16 other brands including Union LA, Fear of God, and Ghetto Gastro. But this isn’t just any ordinary T-shirt – it’s a statement piece with a powerful message.

Bold Graphics and a Bold Message

The plain white tee features a striking graphic of the Brooklyn Bridge on the front, accompanied by the words “Protect the People, Not the Borders” in bold, spray-painted lettering. The back of the shirt lists all 16 participating brands, showing solidarity with the cause.

A Collective Statement for a Worthy Cause

In a press release, AWAKE NY describes the T-shirt as more than just a piece of clothing – it’s a collective statement advocating for the rights, dignity, and safety of immigrant communities in New York. And to further support this cause, 100% of the proceeds from the shirt will go to the Safe Passage Project, a nonprofit that provides free legal representation to immigrant youth facing deportation.

Standing in Solidarity with Immigrant Communities

While recent ICE raids have been concentrated in Los Angeles, AWAKE NY wants to remind everyone that the fear and instability faced by immigrant families is a daily reality across the country. With this release, the brand and its partners aim to shed light on the vulnerability of these communities and honor their vital contributions to the cultural and economic landscape of the city.

Limited Time Only

The “Protect People” T-shirt will be available for pre-order exclusively on AWAKE NY’s website for a limited 72-hour window, starting on July 7th at 12 PM EST. Don’t miss your chance to make a statement and support a worthy cause with this powerful and stylish piece.
