By: Michael Dale Jun. 16, 2016
In response to this weekend's tragic events in at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda's has established an officially-licensed merchandise site, Tee-Rico.
The proceeds from the company's "Love Is Love," t-shirt (see front logo on left) designed by Jessica Sporn, will benefit Equality Cares in Florida to support their efforts to secure equality and justice for Florida's LGBT community. Shirts are printed by Nightsweats & T-Cells, a company 100% staffed with HIV employees for over 20 years.
Miranda also recommends the GoFundMe account set up for Orlando victims, for those who are able to contribute.
