Rubber Bullets Are Still Bullets Shirt, Protest Rights Tee

The label less lethal does a lot of work in press statements and almost none in an emergency room. A July 2026 Physicians for Human Rights report documented more than 400 misuse-of-force cases against protesters, journalists, and bystanders, including blindings and traumatic brain injuries. This design refuses the euphemism.

For street medics, trauma clinicians, injury survivors, legal observers, and anyone who has watched a crowd-control round land on a person. Wear it to a march, a hospital shift change, a policy hearing, or a rally where the harm needs naming.

Common questions

Where does the message come from? It draws on documented harm from crowd-control weapons, including a July 2026 Physicians for Human Rights report cataloging 400 plus misuse-of-force cases with permanent injuries.

Is this too heavy a message for everyday wear? The design is plain text in soft retro rainbow lettering. It reads as a statement, not a graphic image, so it works for daily wear as easily as for a demonstration.

What is the fabric like? Comfort Colors 1717 is 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed so it arrives already soft rather than stiff.
