We invest in grassroots organizations and initiatives doing invaluable work for the trans and gender non-conforming community with special consideration for: education, youth empower
ment, homelessness, mental health, incarceration, and structural racism.

The “Gender Is Over (If You Want It)” jerseys were inspired by Yoko & John’s “War Is Over! (If You Want It)” campaign, a lifelong frustration with normative binary gender roles and coercive gendering, a belief in self-determination, and a love of wearing black mesh in the summer. However, by “gender” we don’t mean “gender identities” — we believe that people’s chosen gender identities & expressions are valid and should be respected! We also don’t intend for this to imply that we currently live in a post-gender world: gendered violence & gender inequality are real and pressing issues that require lots of work to dismantle. Basically, this project was created with self-expression and solidarity in mind, along with critical thinking and a desire to start conversations. It’s open to interpretation and we've had a lot of them.
