A Plan

How about this?

We make some amazing t-shirt designs to raise money and put it in a fund for new projects. We then announce an activism entrepreneur contest. People post their ideas on Lose the Label and the community decides which ones to fund. We can promote the contest on Facebook (through notes, and a group we invite a ton of people to), the blogs (I can make some posts announcing it, and maybe we can afford some banner ads), YouTube, Digg and whatever else we can think of.

We could repeat this project a bunch of times and probably expand it, too.

That's an awesome idea, we'd talked about raising money, but there had always been that question of what to do with it. I like this.

Peace and love,

Joe!

how about we make a bill of rights t-shirt collection? seems like everyone could use some refreshing, and all true wisdom can be found on t-shirts anyway.

I dig it. Maybe my label logo on some shirts? Placed like this. And maybe I can make it better first. Finally.

I love this idea.
The cooler the t-shirts are the better it will be.
Publicity for us, and money for something worthwhile.
