READ MORE ABOUT THRIFT 2 FIGHT HERE: This June, Thrift 2 Fight is embarking on a three week New York thrifting tour to raise money for grassroots social justice organizations. It will start in Albany on June 4th with subsequent sales in Syracuse, Ithaca, Rochester, Buffalo, Kingston, Yonkers, White Plains, and New York City.. Thrift 2 Fight mobilizes fashion by funding abolition-centered social justice work through the sale of donated secondhand clothing. A tongue-in-cheek alternative to the conservative Goodwill and Salvation Army, Thrift 2 Fight gives their customers an opportunity to support progressive causes and learn more about local activism while buying stylish, great quality clothing. Their sales facilitate and support community collaboration and care - encouraging thrifters and fighters to shop and learn more about the initiatives and resources in their own communities. Thrift 2 Fight’s journey started last summer when a group of friends in the Hudson Valley were looking for ways to support the Black Lives Matter movement while unable to attend the protests due to immigration issues and health concerns. They decided to raise money for protesters and bail funds by selling secondhand clothes - on porches, on church lawns and in parking lots. 16 pop-up sales and $20,000 later, Thrift 2 Fight grew into a movement.
