Get a Stay Angry Shirt and Support API Forward Movement

Proceeds will go community programs including the Eaton Fire Food Response Fund.

Purchase a t-shirt and support a great organization doing incredible, vital community work.

Through the rest of April, proceeds from all sales of Stay Angry shirts (and hoodies) will be donated to Asian Pacific Islander Forward Movement, a Los Angeles-area based nonprofit that is working for health equity, the environment, food access, and social justice. API Forward Movement cultivates healthy, long-lasting, and vibrant Asian and Pacific Islander communities through community-centered engagement, education, and advocacy.

In addition to a variety of ongoing programs advocating for fresh food, health access, and livable communities, APIFM's Eaton Fire Food Response Fund supports immediate and long-term food needs for San Gabriel Valley community members affected by the fire. APIFM is partnering with local restaurants and non-profit organizations to provide culturally relevant cooked meals, meal vouchers, and produce bags to community members as they recover and rebuild.

Long after these devastating fires have faded from headlines, there are still good people out there doing the work on the ground. To be honest, I meant to post this fundraiser a long time ago, but like so many things, it got pushed back by... all the things. But I'm hoping you'll lend some support to API Forward Movement and order a shirt. You can also donate directly to API Forward Movement.
