“Clothing is an intensely personal choice. And as noted feminist Carol Hanisch said in 1969, “the personal is political.” Unavoidably then, our clothing has the ability to make a political statement or otherwise express our views on the world. Unfortunately, it is an opportunity we frequently ignore. Something as simple as a t-shirt, when worn, has the ability to not only give its wearer the powerful political tool of unlimited, immediate expression – think of how many times a message is sent by one person walking through a market – but also invites the viewer to see the message and the wearer as one. That is, the ideals woven into the shirt and become bound to the concrete, significant presence of another person. We give credibility and authority to ideas when they are worn by people who matter to us. That act make issues real, makes campaigns real, and can catalyze real action. The personal is political, and it’s time to leverage that fact to create a difference now.”
