November Charity Of The Month

Our November Charity of the Month is Equality Now. That means a portion of the proceeds from every shirt sold in November goes to support this amazing charity that fights for women’s rights all over the world. Some of the issues that Equality Now is fighting globally are sex trafficking, female genital mutilation and sexual violence against girls and woman. 

“Equality Now works for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women and girls around the world. Working with grassroots women’s and human rights organizations and individual activists since 1992, Equality Now documents violence and discrimination against women and mobilizes international action to support efforts to stop these abuses.”

Equality Now also happens to be a charity that Joss Whedon is very passionate about. And we just happen to love Joss Whedon, so we are very proud to be helping out Equality Now as much as we can. His passion for this organization has inspired Firefly fans everywhere. Can’t Stop the Serenity is a fan-run fundraiser that screens Serenity in theaters to raise money for Equality Now. Can’t Stop the Serenity has raised over half a million dollars for Equality Now in just 5 years.

Why Joss Whedon inspires so much loyalty and devotion among his fans is a topic for another email. Why Joss Whedon is passionate about Equality Now is quite simple. As long as women around the world are victims of violence and discrimination, Equality Now will be there fighting the good fight. Watch Joss’s inspirational call to action.
