Humanity First. Always.
Before politics, before profit, before anything else—humanity comes first. Here's why that matters.
By The Purple Tee Team
If we've learned anything in the last few years, it's this: when we forget our shared humanity, everything falls apart.
What Does "Humanity First" Mean?
It means that before we're Democrats or Republicans, liberals or conservatives, we're people. Human beings with hopes, fears, families, and dreams.
It means that compassion isn't a political stance—it's a baseline requirement for a functioning society.
It means that when we're faced with a choice between profit and people, we choose people. Every time.
Why This Matters Now
We're living in a time when it's easier than ever to dehumanize "the other side." Social media algorithms reward outrage. News cycles thrive on division. And somewhere along the way, we forgot that the people we disagree with are still people.
Humanity First is our reminder. Our anchor. Our non-negotiable.
What It Looks Like in Practice
For us, Humanity First means:
- Donating a portion of every sale to causes that put people over politics
- Creating designs that promote conversation, not division
- Building a community where disagreement doesn't mean disrespect
- Being transparent about where our money goes and who we support
It's not complicated. It's just about remembering that at the end of the day, we're all in this together.
