Target vs. The Love Alliance

Because if you're going to be a billboard, you might as well stand for something worthwhile.
The Cause:
The Love Alliance works to educate people on the many social injustices around the globe. They do this by traveling to schools, conferences, festivals, and many other venues to spread their message. They ask us to remember the thirsty, the poor, the hungry, the sick, the enslaved, the environment, the homeless, the oppressed, and the mentally ill.

But they don't just educate! They take their knowledge and use it to make a difference through different service projects, action groups, and partnerships. They have an action project each month with this August's being gathering school supplies for needy children. This is a great organization for people who simply care-- care about making a difference, about helping others. I find their variety a great way for a large number of people to get involved. Plus, You don't have to do anything special to get involved. Simply use their ideas as inspiration for your own service projects and their resources to make your projects successful. So as always, check out their website for more information and ways to get involved.

The Proceeds:

25% of proceeds go towards addressing specific needs concerning social injustice. Plus if you buy a product, you are helping The Love Alliance stay alive!

The Shirts:

The men's shirt is the 'Educate Yourself, Take Action' v-neck shirt and can be found here. The regular t-shirt (not v-neck) can be found here.

The "women's" shirt (all shirts are unisex and this shirt's image just happened to be of a male model, work with me here) is the 'Purple Logo' shirt and can be found here.

The Extra Perks:

Shirts are NOT made in sweatshops.

The sizes range from XS-XXL.
