When we decolonise we start with a colonised environment or space and attempt to revert it back to its Indigenous scaffold. However, what if we did more. What if we flooded colonised spaces with Indigenous knowledge. Or better still, what if the blueprint itself was indigenised. Think of it this way, by the time we have to 'DEcolonise' something, it's too late. By the time you have to DEtonate a bomb, it's too late. Let's instead work to indigenise our thoughts, our spaces and our work. The concept of decolonising relays on centring of the colonist; it centres colonisation. It's even in the word 'deCOLONISE'. However, 'Indigenise' centres the Indigenous Peoples and their kaupapa. 'Indigenise' is about creating, not subtracting. That's where we're heading. --

When European explorers 'discovered' lands on the other continents, there were already people living there. All too often the explorers took the land away from the native or indigenous peoples and either killed them or suppressed them. In many cases, the native languages and cultures were suppressed and the natives were forced to adopt Western ways. Unfortunately, this isn't just a thing of the past -- many Indigenous Peoples and their cultures are still threatened today.

We decided to use the Māori flag in our design as the colours represent what Self Sovereignty stands for.
Black representsTe Korekore the realm ofPotential Being. It represents the long darkness from where the world emerged. It represents the heavens, the male element us formless, floating and passive.
White representsTe Ao Marama, the realm ofBeing and Light. It is the Physical World. White symbolises purity, harmony, enlightenment, balance and air rising.\
The Koru, curling frond shape, represents the unfolding of new life, that everything is reborn and continues. It promises renewal and hope for the future.
Red representsTe Whei Ao, the realm ofComing into Being. It symbolises female, active, flashing, south, yelling, emergence, forests, land, gestation and spirals. Red is Papatuanuku, Earth Mother, the sustainer of all living things. Red is the colour of earth from which the first human was made.
The design represents the balance of natural forces with each other. To live life is to live with nature. To appreciate life is to understand nature.

Inspired by the Los Angeles Dodgers logo, we chose this design to represent the displaced Mexican-American Community who lived in Chavez Ravine before it became Dodger Stadium.
During the early 1950s, the city of Los Angeles forcefully evicted the 300 families of Chavez Ravine to make way for a low-income public housing project. The land was cleared and the homes, schools and the church were razed. But instead of building the promised housing, the city—in a move rife with political controversy—sold the land to Brooklyn Dodgers baseball owner Walter O’Malley, who built Dodger Stadium on the site.
The residents of Chavez Ravine, who had been promised first pick of the apartments in the proposed housing project, were given no reimbursement for their destroyed property and forced to scramble for housing elsewhere.

States across the U.S. are passing the most restrictive abortion laws in decades. Georgia, Ohio, and Mississippi recently passed legislation making abortion illegal past six weeks into pregnancy, a time when the vast majority of women are not aware they are pregnant.
The US has been exporting anti-choice measures as well. The Trump administration recently expanded the global gag rule which prohibits any organization from receiving funding from the U.S. government if they provide services, referrals, and advocacy related to abortion – even with non-U.S. government financing. As a result, millions of women worldwide will be shut off from comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and services.
“This is much bigger than abortion,” said Musimbi Kanyoro, President and CEO of Global Fund for Women.“The global gag rule affects family planning, maternal health, HIV prevention and services, the LGBTIQ community, sex education for young people—it affects the whole of women’s health care around the world. Expanding this policy directly targets the world’s women and girls, and rolls back reproductive health and rights globally.”
10% profit from these T-shirts will go back to fight for womxn's sexual and reproductive health and rights, i.e.,

Coined by Kimberle Crenshaw,Intersectional feminismexamines the overlapping systems of oppression and discrimination that women face, based not just on gender but on ethnicity, sexuality, economic background and a number of other axes.
“There are many, many different kinds of intersectional exclusions ― not just black womxn, but other womxn of color,” Crenshaw said. “Not just people of colour, but people with disabilities. Immigrants. LGBTQ people. Indigenous people.”

What is the model minority myth? The myth of the model minority is based on stereotypes. It perpetuates a narrative in which Asian American children are whiz kids or musical geniuses. Within the myth of the model minority, moms force children to work harder and be better than everyone else, while nerdy, effeminate dads hold prestigious—but not leadership—positions in industries like medicine and accounting. This myth characterizes Asian Americans as a polite, law-abiding group who have achieved a higher level of success than the general population through some combination of innate talent and pull-yourselves-up-by-your-bootstraps immigrant striving.
What's so bad about it? While most people agree that negative stereotypes of Asian Americans are harmful, some still question the harm of the model minority myth. What could be so bad about being part of a group that’s seen as being successful? Like all stereotypes, the model minority myth erases the differences among individuals. The model minority myth operates alongside the myth of Asian Americans as perpetual foreigners. The model minority myth is just one of a collection of stereotypes about Asian American people. Popular television and films exoticize Asian culture and peoples. If you’re a man, you’re a kung fu master. If you’re a woman, you’re a submissive sex object. If you’re gender non-binary or transgender, you don’t exist at all. Mickey Rooney’s racist portrayal in Breakfast at Tiffany’s lives in our collective imagination alongside every East or South Asian actor who has played a bit part as a humorless doctor or IT guy.

When we say Black lives matter, Trans lives matter and Indigenous lives matter, we mean this. However, matter is the minimum. We need to move beyond the minimum and behave in anti-racist, anti-transphobic and anti-homophobic ways. This means more than just wearing a shirt, of course. However, we believe it's a good place to start. We personally have learned a lot through many activists in these spaces and one we really like is Ibram X. Kendi. You can find a link to his text below.
"At the rallies I’ve been to lately for black lives, a lot of us have started using the chant and painting signs that say “matter is the minimum”. I was wondering if you guys could do something with that statement on a shirt or sweatshirt. I think the sentiment behind it, that matter is the baseline and more care and validation needs to happen, is really valuable and really gets the message across that we will not stop at just acknowledging and accepting ones existence in society but rather we are looking for liberation."
