SELF EVIDENT TRUTHS BLOG

Hey! Sorry we've been kinda quiet. We're in FULL brainstorm mode for the National Mall and adapting the project to what the movement needs now, and it's crazy exciting. We're at 9,803 portraits, all fifty States down. Can you believe it?!? More to come soon! Xx (at Omaha, Nebraska)

This human Snapchat filter from West Virginia cracked us up. #WEAREYOU (at Charleston, West Virginia)

This beautiful queen lives in West Virginia. As the Democratic and Republican conventions open and close, we are thinking about allllll the States, and all the countries, where it is a daily struggle to stay alive, and to keep your soul alive, in the face of hatred. This is for all the fighters. #WEAREYOU (at Charleston, West Virginia)

Our founder, @iolovesyou was asked to create a capsule collection for @motherdenim, so he came up with the "Love Your Other" concept, and it's out now! The clothes are all gender neutral, and a portion of the proceeds go to benefitting us. Here's our cray beautiful friend @ktichner in one of the shirts. It's amazing when a mainstream company takes the leap to embrace a community from within, and wants to support it's activist movements too. Big big love for @motherdenim!! 💞💞💞 #LoveYourOther because #WEAREYOU

#WEAREYOU because we're all the same, completely different.

The double whammy of being both black and queer in America right now is so heavy. 💔 Tell someone they're beautiful as they are today. #weareyou (at Columbia, South Carolina)

Heavy contender for best t-shirt. #weareyou (at Charleston, West Virginia)
