Normally we find a product that we like and say a few words about who they are and what they do. Then we make a joke or some other quip that either cheers or jeers the company, their respective product and all of their hard work. It's a living.

In the case of Clothing of the American Mind, a company that sells t-shirts as a means of changing the world, we'll let them describe themselves:



"Clothing of the American Mind (COTAM) is a grassroots company deeply committed to creating apparel that is environmentally safe and responsible, politically and socially conscious, sweatshop free, American made and Fair Trade. A portion of all funds collected from our clothing sales is donated directly to progressive causes and candidates fighting for issues of social and political justice.

"Clothing of the American Mind promotes activism as a way of life, encouraging the notion that anyone can be a political activist; all you have to do is get dressed! With our stylish, eco-chic designs, you can look as good as you feel knowing you are creating a dialogue [sic], spreading a progressive message and sporting gear that is manufactured fairly. Taking Corporate Social Responsibility to the next level, Clothing of the American Mind strives to leave the lightest footprint possible on the planet."

"The lightest footprint possible on the planet." Let's mark this one in the 'cheers' column.
