Dump Trump Shirts for Students
Donation protected
Students stand up against Racism & Bigotry!
Since last fall, Newport Harbor High School students who are Trump supporters have worn their politics on their T-shirts at school, which is 38% Latino and 52% white. But students became particularly alarmed last week when anti-immigrant, anti-Mexican, derogatory graffiti was chalked throughout the campus including the words “fuck illegal aliens”, “wetbacks” and a heart drawn alongside Trump’s name.
“With Donald Trump, [students] are more open about their hate and the things they say,” Angelina Alvarez said.
After the anti-Trump protests last week in Costa Mesa, where one of their 13-year-old friends was choked and punched, the Latino students had had enough – half a dozen students wore Dump Trump T-shirts to school last Friday to make their feelings known.
Since their story went viral, students at their school and surrounding schools want to take a stand. The NHHS students are now raising money for their peers who want to UNITE AGAINST HATE!
“We opened up a lot of eyes and we showed people that they can have voices too," Angelina Alvarez told the Guardian.
Please make it possible! $5 covers a shirt for 1 student - lets make an impact - lets spread the love!
