Inspired and motivated to help this movement go forward, I started up a non-profit business to help the protesters around the globe. Since not everyone can be on the streets protesting, I wanted to give supports another option. Help spread awareness to the cause by picking up one of our shirts. We make our shirts with organic cotton and recycled polyblend. Our proceeds go directly to the protesters in the city of your choice. Please visit www.occupyshirts.com. Follow us on twitter at twitter.com/occupyshirts, and facebook us at facebook.com/occupyshirts. Thanks and keep up the good work!!!
Don't upset the Tea Party followers, they don't think the park occupiers have the capacity for entrepreneurship. I mean, how could the no-good leftist commies know how to run a business? But seriously, great idea, keep up the good work.http://sibob.org/wordpress/
Hey Bob!
Thanks for the encouragement! I really appreciate it :) We're firm believers in the people over profits ideology expressed in this movement, and that's exactly how we plan to run this business.
Our proceeds are dedicated only to our operational costs and protesters around the world.

Keep on keepin' on. http://sibob.org/wordpress/
I already floted this idea about 6 hours ago. I want my royalties.
There are no original ideas on the internet, forget about it. What hasn't been covered here, hasn't been talked about at all. (And I don't mean just this site.) http://sibob.org/wordpress/
Is it the one that reads "I went to OWS and all I got was this stupid T-shirt (and a bad case of crabs)"?
Hi Rob!
Haha, no that's not us. That sounds like a pretty great t-shirt though. We have two t-shirt designs available right now, and more to come next week.
Follow us on twitter if you'd like to get updated on when we post up the new designs!
Can someone from Occupy verify this is related to the cause? Not to distrust the poster but I see folks already trying to 'make a buck' on the movement and it needs to be weeded out.
Hello! First, I'd like to say thanks for your interest, and I fully understand your caution.
In case OccupyWallSt.org doesn't get back to you here, I'd like to let you know that we offer complete proof that our customer's donations have been received by the city of their choice.
We can do this by sending you a valid donation receipt from them or having the organizers of that city contact you directly stating they've received your donation.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to e-mail us at info@occupyshirts.com
Again, thanks for your interest!
Ryan, OccupyShirts.
