NQAPIA

We’re excited to be partnering with 1587 Sneakers on their new pride shirt in honor of #pridemonth. The project was brought to us by longtime NQAPIA supporter, and co-founder of the brand, Jose Antonio Vargas who co-designed the shirt with Sarah Vella-Labrador. John Misael Villanueva created the vibrant font, BBT MARTIRES featured on the front. The shirt was created with the theme of love, unity, and self-expression. Swipe to learn the interesting story behind this unique and impactful design. Limited qualities were made of this special shirt! Don’t miss out on the chance to purchase one for yourself and one for a friend to proudly wear for Pride Month and all year long! A portion of each shirt purchase will be donated to NQAPIA to help support our mission for community capacity building, policy advocacy, and resource development for #LGBTQ + #AANHPI communities across the country. 🙌 🏳️🌈 Happy Pride Month Folx! 🌈 Purchase here: https://lnkd.in/g9Yp4mMR
