While the clothing brand Patriots Believe gives you a chance to wear your beliefs, the co-founders (Rachel Willis and Kate Mcmahon) didn’t start their venture to be an apparel company. They started it to make a bold statement that Patriots look like "us" - Americans who believe in social and racial justice and human rights for all.
James Baldwin once said, “I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” Baldwin's words are the sound of patriotism.
Since 2016, former educators Rachel Willis and Kate Mcmahon have watched right-wing, conservative, white supremacist, exclusionary people co-opt the American flag and claim patriotism – and they grew tired of it.
They want people to understand that patriots are not the insurgents that stormed the Capitol on January 6th or those who had previously and have since stood by in silence.
Patriots are people who see the possibility America holds to be a place of true social justice for all.
They believe that #PatriotsLookLikeUs, and Patriots Believe:
Black Lives Matter
Climate Change is Real
Love is Love
No Human is Illegal
Healthcare is a Human Right
Women+ Control Wombs
Voter Rights are Civil RightsIn addition to building a community of inclusive Patriots, Rachel and Kate are using Patriots Believe to provide funding for deserving organizations, using a profit sharing model to fund organizations that have proven track records of supporting social and racial justice.
Importantly, they are also profit sharing along racial lines. To learn more about this innovative profit-sharing model, listen in and listen up.
