Political T-shirts

2017 has been a year of protest and political expression. From the Klu Klux Klan, Blacks Live Matter, and the Women’s March, there has been a clear trend of political involvement this year. It is important to voice the opinions and viewpoints that are important to us. There are many small businesses found on the website Etsy or in downtown shops that have taken advantage of this political climate and allow us to give our opinion without saying a word.

Shirts, jackets and pins with political statements on them have become more popular as this generation becomes more verbal of our political opinions. Green Box Shop is one of the most popular stores for political t-shirts. Their topics range from climate change to LGBTQ+ rights, and their shirts are worn by celebrities such as Frank Ocean. Their most popular shirt says “Why be sexist, racist, homophobic, or transphobic when you can just be quiet?”, and it is a personal favorite. These shirts are easily available to the everyday activist with prices ranging from $18 to $25. Another online shop named Radical Buttons carries a variety of enamels and pins that encompass more hardcore feminist topics such as abortion and rape culture. Their buttons are stylish and can inform strangers about everything from your pronouns to your opinions on “slut-shaming”. These shirts and pins give us the power to show the world what we believe in.
