Miss Do-Gooder Says No to Intolerance

What do you get when you fuse fashion with philanthropy and a commitment to eliminating homophobia in the classroom? You get Miss Do-Gooders brand spanking new T-shirt, which not only declares zero tolerance for homophobia and intolerance, but backs up that pledge by making sure that every T-shirt purchased forwards some proceeds to the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).

Miss Do-Gooder is a fun fashion venture from California that has already released T-shirts championing animal rights and the fight against illiteracy. Or, in other words, she's just a modern day superhero out to "kick the butt of one injustice at a time."

We heart our progressive T-shirts here at change.org. Especially when they send proceeds to organizations we love, like GLSEN. Here's what GLSEN's Executive Director, Eliza Byard, had to say about the new T-shirt campaign from Miss Do-Gooder:

With this wonderful new design, Miss Do-Gooder continues to represent a cool way that people can show their support for important causes, such as GLSEN's goal of ensuring that every child is safe in school.

Making schools safer. Rooting out homophobia. Stamping out intolerance. Now there's a fashion craze worth getting behind.

It's good that the Miss Do-Gooder T-shirts support tolerance. Although the shirt's message in the blog can apply to everything, LGBT rights is no exception. It's also good that some of the proceeds from the sales goes to the GLSEN. The message on the Miss Do-Gooder T-Shirts is an important message because it shows that the fight against intolerance is a powerful one and a message which other people can adopt.
