H& M Launches T-Shirt Collection to Encourage US Voting

By  | 

This week H&M is launching a  new collection designed to encourage US citizens to get out and vote. The special limited collection of T-shirts goes on sale at H&M stores on Sept. 22, 2020.  The “H&M Votes x Blanks Artist Collab” features a variety of artists from different communities around the USA.  The  bi-partisan artwork on the Tees is designed to encourage people to register to vote.   As part of the campaign, H&M  will  make donations to the regional ACLU chapters of each participating artist’s hometown.  How cool is that? 🙂   The T-shirts off colorful slogans like ‘Take it to the Polls” and “Your Vote Matters.”

The artwork also pays homage to the hometowns of the artists and highlights the importance H&M places on support of local communities around the country where its collaborators, customers and employees live and work.
