Since we released these shirts with _overproof_ in January, we have donated almost $27,000 to important causes in Minnesota directly resulting from the federal occupation of our beautiful city.
$11,500 to Immigrant Law Center MN

And $4000 to rent support.
If you still want one, hurry! This is our last printing and we’re getting low! 😎
