Recently, AWAKE NY unveiled a “Safeguard People” T-shirt in partnership with Union LA, Fear of God, Ghetto Gastro, Patta, Brigade, Badfriend, Denim Tears, Primer Rebelde de América, Kids of Immigrants, Barriers, Scarr’s Pizza, Born x Raised, ICE Studios, Chadie, and GHE20G0TH1K.

This simple white T-shirt showcases an eye-catching graffiti design of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge on its front, accompanied by the powerful statement “Protect People, Not Borders” written in bold, spray-painted font. The backside of the shirt displays the names of all the supporting brands, standing united for this cause.

In their official announcement, the brand explains that their T-shirt is not just clothing, but a powerful symbol supporting the dignity, rights, and security of both new and long-standing immigrant communities in New York. Consistent with its purpose, all profits generated will be donated to the Safe Passage Project, a charitable organization that offers free legal assistance to young immigrants dealing with deportation processes.

Despite ICE raids predominantly occurring in Los Angeles, AWAKE NY underscores that many immigrant families nationwide live with constant fear and instability. By releasing this statement, they aim to bring attention to the vulnerability of these communities while acknowledging their significant role in shaping the cultural and economic landscape of the city.

From July 7th at 12 PM EST, for the next 72 hours, you’ll have an exclusive chance to pre-order the “Protect People” T-shirt only on their official website.
