Introducing the first-ever Project Protocol T-Shirt Campaign: Wear the Message. Fuel the Movement.
Today, we’re launching something special. Not just merch, but a statement.
For years, law enforcement has treated data as a tool of surveillance and control. But at Project Protocol, we believe data should liberate people, strengthen communities, and reveal the truth about how systems really operate.
That belief is now stitched into our first-ever t-shirt.
Why this matters
Every shirt carries the message “Data for Liberation, Not Exploitation”, a direct call to shift the power of information back to the people most impacted by incarceration and parole.
When you wear this shirt, you’re helping:
Challenge a system built on punishment rather than support
Spark conversations about dignity, transparency, and accountability
Back technology that protects people instead of policing them
And you’re supporting a platform built by and for people on parole, one that helps thousands safely access resources, share insights, and connect to communities across California.
Where your support goes
Every purchase fuels:
Expansion of our community-driven resource directory
Digital safety education and guides for people navigating reentry
The development of tech tools that center dignity, not control
For us, this isn’t just a fundraiser. It’s about getting people to pay attention, to understand what’s happening, and to stand with our community.
How it works
We’re collecting orders now and plan to have shirts ready for pickup in mid-December. (Shipping options are also available if pickup isn’t accessible.)
To make it as easy as possible, ordering takes less than 2 minutes.
Submit your order here
After you place your order, you’ll receive a confirmation email with details on pickup/shipping and next steps.
You’re not just buying a t-shirt; you’re showing up for dignity, accountability, and community-led reentry support.
