Some people want you to whisper your values so everyone else can stay comfortable. Not here. Strange Gang made this hoodie for the days you stop translating basic humanity into polite conversation.
The front says it once, clean and blunt. Then you turn around and the message stacks up like a chant that keeps restarting until it finally lands. It’s not subtle. It’s not a vibe. It’s a line you drew with your whole chest.
This is for those fighting against ICE, immigrant-rights supporters, and anyone who is done watching cruelty get packaged as “procedure.” For the ones who keep mutual aid links bookmarked, who text rides home, who show up with water and snacks like it’s part of the uniform.
It belongs in Minneapolis when the air feels electric and the crowd moves like one body. Portland when the rain shows up and nobody leaves. Los Angeles when the heat sticks and the street stays loud. Chicago when the wind tries to steal your sign. New York City when the subway spits you out into a wall of noise and you still keep walking.
It also belongs in the in-between places. The parking lot after the community meeting. The late-night printer jam. The courthouse steps at 7 a.m. The campus quad where everyone suddenly remembers they have a spine. The grocery line where someone wants to argue and you simply do not.
Wear it when you’re marching, but also when you’re doing the boring work that actually holds people up. Calling, donating, translating info, dropping supplies, checking on friends who went quiet. The fight is loud, and it is also paperwork, logistics, and love with teeth.
If someone asks what it means, you don’t have to perform a seminar. It means you are not neutral. It means you believe people deserve safety, dignity, and a life without being hunted. Read the front. Read the back. That’s the whole answer.
Give it as a gift to the friend who never backs down. Keep it as a souvenir from the days you chose community over comfort. Then go do something real with that energy.
