Here We stand
Martin Luther is famously credited with standing up to injustice in the church and saying "Here I Stand, I can do no other, God help me Amen. We believe that it is time (past time actually) for us to stand together against the forces of evil and it's empty promises. It is time that together we say, "Here WE Stand".
What is the inspiration behind the Here We Stand designs?
We worked with a diverse panel of people outside our company to create meaningful products that take a stand and start the conversation around injustice with our Lutheran audience.
What are you doing with the profits of these shirts?
These profits are being used to continue our antiracism work internally and externally, paying living wages to our hardworking staff and to fund continued growth as a company with a heart for justice and service rooted in faith. We hope our products help you start the conversation of anti-racism in your community.
Why are you selling shirts with a raised fist?
As many of you know, the majority of our audience is white. That is exactly why we believe these messages are important. A raised fist has long been used as a way for Black people and People of Color to peacefully protest, specifically racism and injustices in society. We stand in solidarity with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. We need our white brothers and sisters to take action and stand up for these messages of justice, equality, and anti-racism. This is our work to do.
We invite you to join our conversation. Luther stood on his convictions and set the tone. WE can stand together and make tangible changes. Join with us, let us know where you stand, and more importantly why you stand there and what difference it is going to make. Will you help us?
