We are so glad you’ve found your way over to the official Spendyourself blog.
We are an apparel company with a heart for social justice and a vision to drive positive change in the world, but we can’t do it without you. We are inviting you along on this journey to spend yourself.
The vision of this movement is two-fold. First off, we want to give a voice to the voiceless and oppressed all across the globe. In addition to this, the proceeds will go directly to fund specific projects that fight these injustices in a sustainable fashion. We depend on people just like yourselves to tell these stories the clothing embodies to drive change in a way that we might otherwise not be able to.
We also want to give all of you a voice from the very beginning. If you have a certain cause that you are passionate about, we would love to hear about it. In addition to this, we are always looking for graphic designers that have a heart for impacting the world in a positive way with their gifts.
Over the next several weeks we will be launching both the first series of t-shirts and the official Spendyourself website! Be watching for these and we hope you’ll invite your friends to jump on board this project and begin to spend themselves on behalf of the poor and oppressed.
