Robert Geller is committed to helping the American Civil Liberties Union. Geller launched with Grailed in March t-shirts featuring the word, “Immigrant,” with all proceeds from the sales of the shirt going to support the ACLU, and the German-born designer recently partnered with Pintrill on two styles to continue the initiative.

 
The two pins, which launched on Thursday, have a clear message in support of immigration, featuring the word “Immigrant” and the phrase “Sanctuary City.” The Immigrant pin matches the t-shirt, with a grey base and pink lettering, while the Sanctuary City pin is a black triangle with white letters.
 
In regards to the Sanctuary City pin, Geller said, “The inspiration behind the Sanctuary City pin comes from the issue of Sanctuary Cities, which has been prevalent in the last few months. These are the cities that offer special protection to its Immigrants. To me, these cities have become a symbol of resistance to Trump’s attempt to demonize Immigrants in this country.”

The Robert Geller, Pintrill pins are available now on the Pintrill website and retail from $15 to $27. All proceeds from the sales of the pins will go to the support of the ACLU.
