Considering how busy — and distressing — President Trump's first week in office has been, it looks like the next four years are going to be filled with protests and organizing.
One of the most effective ways to protest is by supporting businesses that support the issues you care about. Here are a few black-owned companies to consider buying a t-shirt from before you head out to the next protest.
