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

Homes for people not portfolios. Private equity firms and institutional landlords keep buying starter homes by the block, then renting them back at a markup, and the tenant in the tee rents the house her parents almost bought in 2019 from a fund that outbid them with cash. A house is where somebody sleeps, not a line in a portfolio. This tee draws the line.

Wear it to the tenant meeting, the city council session on investor purchases, the housing justice march, the state house hearing on institutional ownership, and the family dinner where a relative says investment is good for the neighborhood. It is a strong gift for a tenant renting from a fund, a housing organizer, a housing lawyer, and the friend whose parents got outbid.

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 city council session on investor purchases. 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 outbid-in-2019 entry in the housing justice 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.

Common questions

Is this the same as homes for people not profit? Same fight, naming the portfolio instead of the profit. The tenant wearing it rents from one.

Would a tenants' rights group order these for the investor hearing? Coalitions do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do people pick? Black and Graphite. White for the march.

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

Wear it to: the picket line, the rent strike, the grocery store, the shareholder meeting you were not invited to.

Fabric and fit

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.
