At Defense of Democracy, we are dedicated to preserving public education and fighting against the harmful influence of far-right extremists. Our hand torch logo, featuring a hand holding a torch emerging from a book with stars, symbolizes the power of knowledge and our unwavering commitment to safeguarding our schools.

With the words "Defense of Democracy" and "Advocates, Americans & Allies" framing the logo, our t-shirt boldly showcases your support for inclusive education and community-driven advocacy.

Our Gildan soft style t-shirts are crafted from high-quality fabric, ensuring a comfortable and flattering fit. The heat transfer vinyl (HTV) imprint, available in white or eye-catching rainbow holographic, adds a vibrant touch to the design.

Wear our t-shirt with pride and raise awareness about the importance of saving our schools from far-right extremists. As an education advocacy group, we believe in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in classrooms and empowering teachers to create safe and supportive learning environments.

Please note that while both HTV options are rated for up to 50 washes, the rainbow holographic HTV is more delicate. To maintain the longevity of your shirt, we recommend washing it in cold water, inside out, and tumble drying on low heat.

Available Sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL (Please refer to the size chart for accurate measurements). See other listings for Hoodies, Tanks, stickers, signs, bags, and more!

If you do not see the style in the size that you want, please contact me! I can probably get it but due to supply chain issues, it might take a week or two. This is especially true for 3XL - 5XL. Yes, I can get 5XL's but I may need extra time as my warehouse often does not have these in stock in all colors.

About Defense of Democracy
Defense of Democracy is a nonpartisan group advocating for an inclusive public education system. 
We advocate for legislators, educators, and administrators who will work to maintain communities as well as a public education system that supports and enhances our shared experiences regardless of religious beliefs, cultural background, or sexual orientation.

Defense of Democracy advocates for parents, teachers, students, librarians, and all Americans who are fighting every day to protect their civil rights from hate groups.

In the spring of 2022, two moms in a small upstate New York town came together to fight back against three candidates endorsed by the hate group Moms for Liberty who were running for school board in their community. Karen Svoboda and Laura Leigh Abby were quickly joined by others and a hard-working team of parents and they were able not only to defeat these candidates but to mobilize a community and double voter turnout. As of February 2023, Defense of Democracy has over 25 chapters and 3 affiliate groups throughout the United States.

Defense of Democracy is made up of people from all walks of life. Among our corps of volunteers, there are subgroups that include “Veterans Defending Democracy”, “Youth Defending Democracy”, “Librarians Defending Democracy” and many more. 
We are fighting back against the rise of Christian Nationalism and hate that is actively fighting to destroy our public schools, ban books, and punish LGBTQ+ ( and especially trans students,) teachers, and other marginalized groups. We have a list of core beliefs that we believe are essential for a strong education system and democracy and we encourage anyone who is outraged by the current state of affairs and hate-filled attacks on our schools to learn more about us and our beliefs at https://defenseofdemocracy.org/about/
Defense of Democracy is passionately committed to bipartisanship and welcomes anyone who is interested in protecting their fellow Americans, in particular, those in marginalized communities, from oppression. Some of our most vocal advocates are individuals who by all counts are considered “conservative” but happen to know and love people in the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

ABOUT THE CREATOR
When you purchase from me, you’re helping support an independent, queer, disabled creator and activist and her family. I have been creative all my life and I have always loved making things that others can enjoy. Whether it is a t-shirt, crocheted doll, knit hat, a company logo or website, a spooky Halloween sign, or tools to help other creators, I love to bring my imagination to life! I have a BS in Political Science and a Masters in Public Administration so I also love when I can help other activists!
