Hey everyone! We have a new shirt, which pays tribute to and, hopefully, raise money and awareness for, Filipino Veterans of World War II, who are spending their twilight years fighting for justice from the U.S. government.

Before the war, these men were told they would get full veterans benefits. But once the war was over, they lost what was promised to them and they've been fighting ever since to get their rights restored.

Most of them have passed away without getting what they were owed, and every year more and more of the veterans die off. But in recent years, their cause has gotten some traction in Congress and this year, it looks like they might actually get their due.

It's an issue that's really brought together the Filipino American community and with Democrats in control of Congress, hopes are high that this will be the year. But to keep the pressure on Congress more people need to know about the cause. We're hoping to help out on that with our newest design, our "It's about time" t-shirt. We're also donating $10 of every shirt sold to an organization that's helping to push the cause.
