5 Brands With Activist T-shirts That Are Cute, Ethically & Sustainably Made!

Activist tees have flooded the runways and mainstream media for a few seasons now, and they are here to stay.

Climate action is a top priority for the fashion industry. Many companies are mass producing activist and feminist tees, but that’s not a very sustainable action. Most sweatshop laborers are women, and many are not making a living wage. It’s hard to tell which t-shirts are actually “ethical” and practicing what they preach. Keeping all of this in mind, it’s good to research before you buy. But don’t worry, we did some research for you.

Here we have our top fashion activism tees that are both ethically made and sustainable. The companies highlighted hail from various parts of the world, but all are striving towards a greener and cleaner future. These tees are cute and eco-friendly! Now you can leave a meaningful impression at fashion week and at your next Climate March.

“It’s an election year and these political tees do the talking so you don’t have to.”
