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

Community is our safety net. When the programs get gutted, we catch each other, and the founder in the tee put the first fridge on a corner the week the food program got cut and now runs four of them on a text thread. Mutual aid, neighbor networks and community fridges are the backstop that shows up when the official one does not. This tee names the net.

Wear it to the community fridge restock, the mutual aid distribution, the neighborhood meeting after the cut, the disaster response shift, and the family dinner where a relative says the government will handle it. It is a warm gift for a community fridge founder, a mutual aid organizer, a neighbor network runner, and the friend on the text thread.

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 three lines that read across a community fridge on the corner. 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 four-fridges entry on our mutual aid and solidarity page.

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.

Common questions

Is this the warmer version of nobody is coming to save us? Same premise, warmer. That one is the diagnosis; this one is the net the crew built underneath it.

Would a community fridge network order these? Networks do, for the restock. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do people pick? Bay and Ivory. Black for the meeting.

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

Wear it to: the mutual aid drop-off, the block party, the picket line, the church basement.

Fabric and fit

Comfort Colors 1717: 6.1 oz 100 percent ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed and soft-washed so it feels broken in from the first wear. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 4XL in eight colors. Double-needle stitching, no side seams, sewn-in label.

Measurements for every size are on the size and fit guide.

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.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
