Hey guys, I wanted to share this campaign with everyone here as we have such a powerful group of people. Last year I was approached by Ryan and his team at Ryonet to help get the ball moving on creating a company that can create a positive change through our resources. I would love to ask all my friends here to go check out the brand and what we are trying to create. Any help with the initial campaign would be huge as this is helping support our initial order of blanks that are being sewn as we speak. Here's a bit of info from an email body that we put together.
We know you care about how your shirts are made and we care too.
But what you may not know is that the way most shirts are made… well, it isn’t pretty.
Many of the 2 billion t-shirts purchased every year in the U.S. are produced by large-scale manufacturers, who often exploit lax environmental regulations and cheap labor in developing nations to produce cheap shirts in bulk. They then sell them to screen printers like us, who sell them to people like you.
No one feels good about this pattern. But for a long time, it’s felt like there’s no better choice. Ethically-made shirts can be expensive and choices are limited.
We’re here to tell you there is a choice.
We’re part of a collective of screen printers who have decided it’s time to break the pattern of exploitative manufacturing.
We’re launching a new line of affordable, high-quality blank t-shirts produced in a socially-responsible and environmentally-kind way.
Our shirts are made from recycled bottles and sustainably-grown natural fibers, and manufactured in Haiti by makers earning a living wage, supporting the Global Orphan Project.
We’ve started an Indiegogo campaign to fund our first production run of 67,000 t-shirts, which will create over 40 jobs at the GO Project’s production facility—paying Haitian makers 5x the typical wage, enough to keep families together.
We need your help. You can learn more about the project, and Allmade, on our Indiegogo page.
We’re excited about the opportunity to drive real, meaningful change within our industry, and for the world. We hope you are too.
