Our T-Shirt of the Month for February 2025, made of 100% organic cotton by a worker-owned co-operative, and supporting grassroots labour unions in South Asia.
It commemorates Audre Lorde and one of her most famous quotes: “Women are powerful and dangerous.”
Lorde was born in February 1934 as a daughter of Caribbean emigrants in New York and described herself as a "Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet". She was also a factory worker, social worker, X-ray technician, artisan, writer, civil rights activist, communist and much more. In the 1960s, she graduated from Columbia University and began to participate in the feminist, LGBT+ and civil rights movements of the time, where she contested the class discrimination and racism existing in the feminist movement, which was generally focused on the experiences of white women. Lorde identified the wide and varied experiences of women in matters of class, race, age, sex and even health, which is often referred to today as "intersectionality", noting that “there is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives”.

When will I receive my t-shirt?
Printing of each T-Shirt of the Month will take approximately two weeks after being ordered. The shirts will then be shipped from France, and delivery should take up to one week for Europe, and up to two weeks for the rest of the world.
In the unlikely event that shirts from dna merch are out of stock, design will instead be printed on an organic t-shirt from fairwear foundation leader Stanley & Stella instead.
