black lives matter
our mission
The mission of Threads is to support the Black Lives Matter protests by donating all money earned to the Innocence Project. Each item is hand embroidered with a symbol that encapsulates the goals of the movement. Neither of us have experienced the racial injustices inflicted upon African-Americans and we realize although, this is not an issue that we face directly, it is an issue that impacts so many people around us and unfortunately has proven prevalent since this country’s foundation. We decided on hand-stitched emblems because it signifies coming together as one. Threads wants to embody this idea and continue to spread awareness of Black Lives Matter through clothing items.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter"
Martin luther king jr.
All of the proceeds from Threads for Black Lives Matter, save for the cost of the sweatshirt, will go to Innocence Project.
Innocence Project was founded in 1992, and works to exonerate the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice.
