The OITNB cast teamed up with Color of Change for an honest series of interviews about anti-racism.

Police brutality and reform are two of the biggest issues facing American society today. The deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd have sparked national and global protests to save Black lives. Black Lives Matter has organized protests across the country that have caught the attention of everyone to demand racial justice.

In the above video, the cast of OITNB spends an hour interviewing people in the fight to end racism to help fans of the show take action. There are so many ways to be involved in the fight. Some people might now know ways to help organizations demanding justice for Black lives.

You can donate, protest (safely), and shop to help the Black community. There are various organizations, local, state, and national that are bailing out protesters, offering therapy assistance, and supporting Black political candidates.

If you are struggling to know how to help the Black Lives Matter movement, this video from the OITNB is a great resource.

‘Annoyed in Spanish’ Dad Hat

If your friend is bilingual, then you know they can get annoyed in both English and Spanish (lucky you). We feel their pain, so we made this [Annoyed In Spanish] Dad Hat to wear on the days when we simply can’t with people. Stay strong, amigos, we feel you.

Apt. 512 keychain

Ideal for that Selena fan in your life. Or maybe send it as a hint to that special ‘chico del apartamento 512’ who has the key to your heart. 

‘Mejor Sola’ Necklace 

For that queen who maybe has just gone through a breakup, or who just doesn’t settle for anyone she’s not 100 percent sure about. Remind her that ‘mejor sola que mal acompañada’ and empower her to live her best life with this little sumthin. 

‘Y la dieta?’ hat 

For the fit friend who always keeps track of everyone else’s calorie count. Gift her this hat so she can remind everyone to keep on with la dieta without saying anything.

For that recent grad in your life. Let her know; girl, you’re someone who knows what she wants and you’ll never stop working until you reach your goals. The “Fierce Graduate” Pin will help her show the world, she’s a force to be reckoned with.

‘Qué Cozy’ candle set

Fall is here, and winter is just upon us, so why not get cozy with some candles?

Made with pure Latino pride, Tragos is the drinking card game that your abuela will not approve of. Perfect for the friend who loves hosting fiestas at his place. Each box holds 110 ridiculously true Latino reference cards, designed with unique game rules to get the fiesta started. 

Play with different card categories like: Vote — Tostones or maduro? Losers take 2 sips. Jinx — Pick a person in the room. On 3, both of you call out the best Latino dessert. If you have different answers, drink. Most Likely To —On 3, everyone points at the person you think watches the most telenovelas. Pick Two—Pick two types of Latino cuisine. Everyone votes on which one is better. Losing team drinks. And then ask them to invite you to the drinking party.
