You might have seen people like, regular people and famous people wearing shirts that say things like, I met god, shes black, and God loves girls who love girls, but thats not the trend were talking about today. Well, it kind of is, because those
RooftopsNYC shirts are extremely popular right now, but the trend were gathered here to discuss at the moment is a more philanthropic one.
RooftopsNYC is joining other companies in donating part of their proceeds to the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. Thats the biggest trend these days.
Youll recall that following the implementation of the travel ban that prevented entrance to the United States by people from seven different Muslim-majority countries, the ACLU received six times their annual donation amount in a single weekend. Ride-sharing company Lyft donated $1 million and a popular toy company announced that the proceeds from their Donald Trump action figure would also be getting handed over to the ACLU. Some D.C.-area restaurants donated their profits from Inauguration weekend to Planned Parenthood, which is in danger of being defunded under Trump. So yeah, funneling profits back into these organizations is very much on-trend.
To do that, the clothing company is rolling out a new shirt. It says Lock him up.
Get it? Its a response to the refrain that was so often heard at Trumps campaign rallies (and at CPAC this year) as supporters demanded that Hillary Clinton be put in jail. RooftopsNYCs founder, Dylan Chenfeld, flipped the script and is using his popular brand to call for the presidents incarceration.
