Yes

📣❤️‍🔥 Say it louder, wear it bolder. ❤️‍🔥📣

This unapologetic activist tee spells out what too many in power try to ignore: “Hunger is violence, poverty is violence, homelessness is violence, racism is violence, no healthcare is violence, war is violence.” Each line is printed in a raw, distressed block print for maximum visual impact, with every instance of the word “violence” burning bright in red—because the harm is real, and we refuse to be silent about it.

This shirt is made to be worn by people who take to the streets, show up at city hall, build mutual aid networks, and speak truth to power. It’s for those who know that violence isn’t just physical—it’s systemic, it’s structural, and it’s happening every day to our neighbors, our communities, and our planet.

Printed on soft, light, and breathable Bella + Canvas tees, this shirt is as comfortable as it is uncompromising. Whether you’re protesting, organizing, canvassing, or educating, this is wearable solidarity. It's perfect for human rights advocates, protesters and organizers, mutual aid organizers, abolitionists, anti-war activists, community educators, or anyone who believes that justice means more than slogans.

❤️‍🔥 Why you'll love it: ❤️‍🔥

⌛️ Distressed block print for a vintage, worn-in vibe
🔴 “Violence” printed in red for powerful emphasis
👕 Bella + Canvas tee: light, soft, and ethically, and sustainably produced just for you
🤲🏽 Unisex sizing and inclusive fit
🎨 Printed with eco-conscious inks

Designed by an artist passionate about justice. Wear it to challenge, wear it to provoke, wear it to declare that we will not normalize injustice! Silence is complicity, and this shirt speaks volumes.

Graphic features the text "Hunger is violence, poverty is violence, homelessness is violence, racism is violence, no healthcare is violence, war is violence.” in a distressed block print.

Please size up 1-3 sizes for an oversized fit.

Please be advised that the printing process is state-of-the-art, but colors may look slightly less saturated than what you see on the computer screen.
