About this campaign
Hug a THUG was created when 3 of our Pacific Islander peer support facilitators badges were suspended for something that, to us, is a cultural norm: a hug.
In our culture, a hug is not weakness its respect, healing, and connection. But the system saw it as a violation. That clash inspired Hug a THUG: a movement reclaiming culture as a protective factor.
By wearing this shirt, you're helping us:
Uplift Culture: Show the world that culture heals, protects, and connects.
Support Healing: Proceeds fund culturally relevant peer support for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated men.
Change the Narrative: THUG doesn't t mean hopeless. It means Transforming Hurt into Unstoppable Growth.
This isn't t just a shirt. It's a statement. A hug can save a life.
