Through the mediums of art, digital and social media and a hip line of clothing we recruit, promote, and celebrate the unique people and businesses in Portland that share our vision in spreading the message of social and environmental responsibility. Every year we give a portion of our proceeds to a local or national non-profit that is doing good things for our people and our planet. They are a lo
cal non-profit with a mission to reclaim from corporations the Constitutional rights of people by exercising the right of local self-government to protect the health, welfare, and dignity of citizens, the commons, and future generations. Visit http://communityrightspdx.org/ to learn more. We have yet to determine which organization we will be donating to this year. The people’s republic isn’t limited to Portland. There are many like-minded communities with similar values. PROP has expanded into cities such as Brooklyn, San Francisco, Boulder, Louisville and other cities across the United States. Each community has unique elements that we can all learn from and build upon. PROP seeks to unite these communities and work together to build a better tomorrow. It is our goal to support and purchase from local businesses and suppliers whenever possible and to make sure that the products that are purchased have been manufactured responsibly, come from renewable resources, and have a low impact on the environment. We source only American Made or 100% organic cotton. We hope to soon be able to follow the up-cycled model and source from local company Looptworks. Add your voice to the republic! Help start new platforms for social exchange, let’s celebrate your city, your people, and unite to create a progressive model for real change. Make a fashion statement, be the changed you want to see and join the movement!
