NAD- Stop Asian Hate

"Stop Asian Hate" x Deaf Power x Staple ORDERS WILL SHIP IN 2-4 WEEKS**ALL SALES FINAL** Description: We need all hands on deck to combat racism. There has never been a greater time to share our stories with non-Asian people. The more we share, the more space and support we get. Dr. Kiona, a social justice advocate, pointed out that racism against Asians looks different, therefore we need to acknowledge that activism consequently must look different. We’re all in this together. Asian Deaf creatives Christine Sun Kim (@chrisunkim) and Ravi Vasavan (@ravivasavan) (Co-Founders of @deafpower.me); along with illustrator Meeya Tjiang (@meeyadoodles) are partnering with @jeffstaple (@staplepigeon @reedartdepartment) for this global collaborative project. This collaboration brings together a Korean American in Berlin, an Indian Australian in London, a Chinese American in Washington D.C. and a Chinese American in New York City during historic unprecedented times. The shirt will be available 04/16/2021 at 11:00am EST. International shipping is available. 100% of profits will be split between the AAPI Community Fund, and, Stop #AAPIHATE with Asian Signers.

MxT 2510MxT 2510

MxT 2510, a California based company, was founded by a mother and daughter duo, Melody Stein and Taysia Stein. We create sustainable elevated basics which are inspired by our travels. We use sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton for our garments.

Our company understands that the environment has been severely impacted by the lack of awareness for sustainable options, especially in the fashion industry. We encourage people to slowly incorporate sustainability into their everyday lives. We know that this is easier said than done and nobody is perfect. But if we all try to make these smaller changes, we can make the planet a healthier one.
