Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Abolish borders not people. A clear line drawn on cotton, and the migration scholar in the tee reverses the order the policy puts it in at every panel she sits on: the line is the thing that should go, not the person who crossed it. An anti-ICE, pro-immigrant shirt for the people who see the line as the problem. This tee is the reversal.

Wear it to the migration studies panel, the immigration rally, the counter-protest, the citizenship ceremony, and the family dinner where a relative says borders keep us safe. It is a strong gift for a migration scholar, an immigration organizer, a border volunteer, and the friend who reversed the order.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and four words that read across a migration studies panel. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the reversed-order entry in the immigrant rights collection.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Would a migration studies program order these for the panel? Programs do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do people pick? Black by a wide margin. White for the rally.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the rally, the courthouse, the vigil, the neighborhood that looks out for its own.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.
