While walking the streets of Southeast Asia, Chad’s heart was truly broken by the conditions people are living in. Young men, women and children are sold for as little as $3 for sexual encounters, families live in stilted shacks on landfills (dump), and the value of human life and morality is seemingly deteriorating . After returning home Chad and his wife, Rachel, were made aware that this is also happening right here in America. Slavery, poverty, abortion and persecution are things we face on a daily basis. Convicted to act against this horrible injustice, they began to brainstorm how they could make a difference and contribute to the fight. Being screen printers and having a heart to raise awareness, they decided to launch Speak Against Injustice, an apparel line dedicated to raising awareness of human trafficking, poverty, abortion and persecution via spoken messages and statistics on t-shirts, sweatshirts and stickers.
WHAT SETS SPEAK AGAINST INJUSTICE APART?
Speak Against Injustice is unique in several ways, which they like to summarize as the “Speak-4“.
There are four reasons why purchasing Fair Trade Certified shirts from Speak Against Injustice is beneficial.
By purchasing a shirt you are:
1.) Supporting products that are ethically made, and each fair trade certified t-shirt you buy promotes sustainable livelihoods for the garment workers as well as cotton farmers, and ensures a slave free product.
2.) Going Green! Organic cotton represents a return to safe and sustainable practices. It is grown with natural fertilizers and is free from toxic chemicals.
3.) Raising Awareness of social injustice by simply wearing a Speak Against Injustice shirt.
4.) Financially supporting entities who fight against injustice as 25% of each sale from your item goes to non-profits who are proactive in fighting against injustice.
There are more than 27 million slaves in our world today, more than 42 million babies are murdered every year, 15 million children die each year from starvation, and currently more than 200 million Christians around the globe suffer imprisonment, abuse and sometimes death because of their faith. Will you be there voice… will you speak for them… will you Speak Against Injustice?
