The best part of Supreme's summer collection is that it contains charitable t-shirts — an initative that is started by the streetwear brand to help families in need. In particular, a portion of the proceeds of each tee from the [capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amnesty-international-canada) will go toward supporting families that are impacted and broken up by Trump's 'Zero-Tolerance' immigration policy.

While the charitable t-shirts themselves have a casual and graphic-rich aesthetic, Supreme is no stranger to making political stances and protesting unjust policies. The [streetwear label](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-wang-x-supreme) has taken numerous stands against the political rule in the United States with suggestive keychains during Trump's initiation as president, as well as some strongly potent Martin Luther King Jr.-themed apparel.

The charitable t-shirts are a vehicle in protecting families and loved ones from direct impact.
