The Government Does Not Care T-Shirt - UNISEX

Artist, illustrator and activist, Seth Tobocman, produced this collaborative benefit shirt with Bushwick Print Lab in April, 2020. Originally drawn by Seth after Hurricane Katrina, for New Orleans in 2006, the graphic is as socially relevant today as it was then. 100% of the profits from sales of this shirt will be donated by the artist to local NYC organizations doing COVID-19 relief work.
