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

My care is not a line item. The care that keeps a person alive is not a budget line to shave down, and the ventilator user in the tee sat in a state budget hearing and heard her overnight nursing hours described as a line item that could absorb a ten percent trim. The states dropping optional Medicaid waiver programs are the reason. This tee refuses to let anyone treat it that way.

Wear it to the state budget hearing, the Medicaid office, the disability rights rally, the home nursing agency, and the family dinner where a relative says everyone has to tighten their belt. It is a strong gift for a ventilator user, a home nurse, a disability advocate, and the friend who heard the word trim.

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 state budget hearing. 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 ten-percent-trim entry on our disability rights 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 same as my child is not a budget cut? Same room, the adult version. That one is the parent; this one is the person whose hours are on the sheet.

Would a home nursing agency order these for the hearing? Agencies do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do people pick? Black and Chambray. Bay for the rally.

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

Wear it to: the hearing, the clinic, Disability Pride Month in July, the parking lot where someone took your spot.

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.
