Who We Are
Advocate Attire is a clothing company with a mission to raise awareness for groups of society that are often overlooked and/or mocked. Historically, people who struggle with addiction, poor mental health, or unstable living situations have been the subject of jokes displayed in the media. Consequently, we have been conditioned to laugh at these situations rather than feel compassion for the people in them. The signature “NO JOKE” phrasing on our apparel serves as a reminder that the preceding circumstance is both serious and not something to laugh about. We want to remind everyone that these conditions are tied to PEOPLE who deserve our compassion and support rather than apathy and mockery. To further this enterprise, we will donate 5% of each item purchased to a nonprofit organization supporting the subsequent cause.
