sweet project

The Yellow Bird Project is a collection of indie musicians who design t-shirts and the proceeds go to various deserving charities--for example, Bon Iver designed this shirt and the proceeds go to Interval House, a women's shelter in Toronto. Other charities include Amnesty International, Greenpeace, and St. Jude's.

I always appreciate celebrities using their celebrity status in a way to give back. It doesn't surprise me that it's indie musicians spearheading this project. Unfortunately, those with the most fame seem content to focus on only themselves [there are some exceptions, i.e. Brad and Angelina].

So, check out the site, buy a shirt, get involved! Bon Iver is going to be in Milwaukee for the AIDS Walk Wisconsin!

peace and love,
