BELLY RELEASES "IMMIGRANT" T-SHIRT IN SUPPORT OF FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER PROTESTS

Speaking out against injustice and supporting nationwide protests regarding current immigration policies, Republic recording artist, Belly, unveiled his limited edition "IMMIGRANT" t-shirt.

The shirts are available for purchase on Belly's official web store (go here); the Roc Nation rapper will be donating 100% of the profits of the special edition shirt to benefit the ACLU in its pursuit to protect the civil rights and liberties of immigrants through litigation, lobbying and advocacy, and the International Rescue Committee (IRC), which provides assistance to vulnerable children and refugee families around the world.

Belly was born and raised in the Middle East and an immigrant to both Canada and the US. Inspired by the hundreds of Families Belong Together protests on 6/30, he decide to create the shirt as a simple, direct statement.

“As an immigrant myself," the rapper declared, "I feel as though IMMIGRATION is a topic that NEEDS my support & yours as well with so much happening. It’s our job as public figures and more importantly as HUMANS to bring attention to these causes. With your help we can create a platform and bring awareness to help immigrants thrive and know they can succeed too."
