Deandre Levy of the Detroit Lions made headlines this past spring when he penned a moving piece about toxic masculinity and how it plays a major role in an unhealthy environment. He’s now taking his interest in making the world a better place for all even further. 

Levy has announced that he’ll be partnering with a Detroit clothing line to sell t-shirts that will use proceeds to test more than 11,000 rape kits that were found in a warehouse back in 2009, according to the Root. The Detroit Hustles Harder “Our Issue” tees and hoodies come in black with purple font.

“#DomesticViolence and #SexualAssault aren’t just women’s issues. They’re #OurIssue,” said Levy on a recent Instagram post. He’s also made other posts highlighting the importance of acknowledging that domestic violence and sexual assault are issues that we must all fight to end.
