We all know about the horrifying destruction and killing that has been taking place in Syria. Caught between government, rebels, and ISIS fighters, civilians are being killed en masse by indiscriminate bombing and missile strikes. In the midst of this terror, a group of unarmed Syrian civilians have been undertaking rescue missions to get people out of harm’s way. They risk their own lives to save the lives of their people, no matter their political or military affiliation. This group of heroes is known as the White Helmets. From now until January 7th, we are donating 100% of the profits from our newest graffiti dyed yarn to the White Helmets.
This new color, Shami, is named for another fearless Syrian activist. Abu Malik Al-Shami is a street artist who has been painting murals depicting themes of the Syrian Civil War using the rubble of war-torn cities as a canvas.
