Weâre so excited to share that weâve chosen the Alliance For Full Acceptance (@affa.sc ) as this quarterâs 1% for the People partner!
ICYMI, last year we launched a new initiative to donate 1% of our profits every quarter to an organization doing important work in our community.
AFFA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a South Carolina where all LGBTQ+ people are respected, safe, and free to thrive. They work statewide to provide LGBTQ+ education, advocacy, and community engagement opportunities. AFFA is a vital force for our queer community and we are proud to support their tireless work to address legislative threats, promote inclusivity, and celebrate queer joy!
Now through the end of June, weâre totaling up 1% of our profits (including in-store and online sales) and donating directly to AFFA. Please spread the word, give @affa.sc a follow, or make a direct donation if you are able.
