About Us

About Democratee's

We turn outrage into outreach.
$5 from every shirt goes to fight injustice.

Democratee's wasn't born in a boardroom.
It was born from watching our country backslide while billionaires buy elections and fascists flood the airwaves.

When families are detained, rights are stripped, and communities are under attack — silence isn't an option.
So we got loud. And we built something that fights back.

This brand is for the fed-up and the fired-up.
For people who still believe democracy is worth fighting for and are ready to put their money where their mouth is.

This isn't feel-good merch.
It's a platform that funds direct action.
$5 from every shirt goes straight to the fight — no vague claims, no corporate bullshit, no tax write-off theater.
Every dollar is tracked and publicly reported. Every design is a stance.

What We Stand For

  • Reproductive freedom — full stop
  • LGBTQ+ rights and trans liberation
  • Racial justice and Indigenous sovereignty
  • Climate action rooted in equity
  • Pro-democracy, anti-fascist resistance
  • Community, compassion, and unapologetic truth

Our shirts aren't just statements.
They're protest gear for people who show up — to marches, to meetings, to brunch, to the polls.

Why Our Tees

We print on premium Gildan 64000 blanks — soft, durable, and built for everyday resistance.

  • Relaxed unisex fit that actually looks good on real people
  • Tagless label because comfort matters when you're changing the world
  • True to size (or size down if you want it fitted)
  • No weird mannequin mockups — just shirts that work

Where the Money Goes

Every shirt equals $5 donated to progressive nonprofits doing the work that matters.
You vote for next month's featured organization with your purchase, and we post the receipts every month.

We spotlight organizations fighting the battles that keep you up at night:

  • Youth mental health
  • Immigrant rights
  • Voting access
  • LGBTQ+ advocacy and more

OCTOBER BALLOT: FREE SPEECH UNDER FIRE

Lawmakers keep banning books, gagging teachers, and demonizing the press — because when truth is silenced, power goes unchecked. Free speech isn’t some abstract principle; it’s the foundation of every other right we’ve got.

While politicians strip away voices, these organizations are protecting them — defending journalists, activists, and everyday people from censorship and corruption.

This month’s ballot highlights groups that refuse to let democracy go dark. They fight in the courts, in Congress, and in communities to keep our voices loud and our rights alive.

Your vote determines November’s featured organization — and which cause we put our weight behind next.

Together, let’s turn outrage into outreach.

Ballot Box: FREE SPEECH UNDER FIRE

Press Freedom & Government Accountability

Freedom of the Press Foundation

When journalists are silenced, democracy is silenced. Freedom of the Press Foundation defends investigative reporters and whistleblowers who risk everything to tell the truth. From secure-communications tools to legal defense, they make sure the stories that matter most still see the light of day.

First Amendment Advocacy & Legal Defense

Institute for Free Speech

The Institute for Free Speech protects your right to speak out, protest, and participate in democracy without government interference. They fight in the courts and in Congress to stop laws that restrict political speech — because a strong democracy means protecting voices, even when they’re inconvenient to power.

Free Speech, Free Press & Fair Democracy

Free Speech For People

Free Speech For People pushes back against corporate power and political corruption that threaten our democracy. From campaign finance reform to protecting voters’ voices, they’re building a system where people — not money, not billionaires — decide the future.

we believe in transparency

Too many brands slap "activism" on their marketing while doing jack shit for the causes they claim to support. We're not those people.

$5 from every shirt we sell goes exactly where we say it goes. Every month. Every time. No creative accounting. No “admin fees” disappearing into someone’s pocket.

Here’s how it works:

  • You buy a shirt — we donate $5 to the featured nonprofit of the month
  • At checkout, you cast a vote for next month’s organization from a curated shortlist
  • Voting closes on the 25th of each month — the top-voted org gets the next spotlight

We Bring the Receipts:

  • Live donation tracker updates daily
  • Receipts posted for every monthly payout
  • No vague claims — just real dollars going to real organizations doing real work

Because trust isn’t something you claim — it’s something you earn. In a world where companies lie about everything from their supply chains to their values, showing receipts shouldn’t be revolutionary.

But here we are.

From outrage to outreach — one transparent dollar at a time.
