They Might Be Giants wanted to make an effort to help end this suffering during this dire period in our nation's history. We have organized a benefit t-shirt project with the folks at RAICES, a leading organization in Texas helping separated families, detained families, unaccompanied minors, and others who are seeking asylum in the United States. To find out more about RAICES visit their website:
https://www.raicestexas.org.
For this effort, we have created a limited-edition t-shirt from a design by Lindsay Riley, who illustrated a memorable line from our song "Birdhouse in Your Soul" in an original woodcut. It is printed in white discharge ink for maximum smoothness on a beautiful blue 100% cotton shirt.
ALL profits from this effort will go directly to RAICES. For those of you with long memories, you'll remember this design was a one-time-only t-shirt offering from us a few years back. Let us be the first to note that we are breaking our own rule by creating another edition of this shirt –– it feels like trying to help out one of the few forces of good in this most troubling of times is more important.
We invite everyone to participate in this effort to end this terrible government policy, and spread the word about it on social media if you could. If you have enough t-shirts in your life, please consider a direct contribution to RAICES. Thank you for supporting this effort."
