Helping The Victims of Hurricane Harvey

If you’ve been watching the news for the past week, you’ve no doubt seen the devastation that Hurricane Harvey is causing in Houston, Texas and the surrounding areas.

We want to do our part to help here at Revision Path, so for the month of September we are donating 100% of sales from our Threadless store to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. This fund was set up by Houston mayor Sylvester Turner, and the fund will go to victims affected by the recent floods and damage. It will be housed at the Greater Houston Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity.

We are also offering free shipping this month! Use the discount code HELP17149d9bb at checkout. (Order minimum $45 US/$80 international.)

Oh, and one more thing: we’re having a Labor Day sale right now through September 5 at midnight ET — 20% off all men’s, women’s and kids apparel!

So get your shop on and help out a good cause! Big thanks to Threadless for offering free shipping for the month!

Black in Design Conference x Revision Path

Revision Path is proud to sponsor the 2017 Black in Design Conference! If you’ve been listening to the show for any amount of time, you know that I have talked about this event a lot. I attended the 2015 inaugural event, and it was so inspiring to be in the presence of so many Black designers and students.

This year’s event takes place October 6-8 at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in Cambridge, MA. The theme is “Designing Resistance, Building Coalitions”, and it will explore how designers are advocates and activists, highlight the contributions made by Black designers, and broaden the definition of design.

Early bird tickets are now on sale, and this event will sell out! Click or tap the button below and get yours today.

I’ll see you there!
