Do Something. Even Small Things Can Make A Big Difference.
HOW THE REBELLION BEGAN
I was sitting in my backyard in Pasadena CA, watching my chickens and trying to take my mind off of the depressing, troubling, and stressful state of our country. I had attended protests, made donations, shared posts, talked to friends and family, but I still felt that I wasn't doing enough. I had to do something more. So, the Rebellion was born. I started it because I had to — I needed to. For my own sanity.
After more than two decades living in LA and working in the film and TV industry, I hit a wall — not creatively, but spiritually. I’d spent 21 years helping big studios make their content look perfect while the world outside felt like it was cracking apart. When the jobs dried up, I took a hard look at what I actually believed in.
What I saw everywhere — greed, authoritarianism, disinformation, and cruelty — made me sick. So I stopped waiting for someone else to fix it and asked myself, What can I do?
That’s how Rebellion Supply Co. was born.
It’s not just a brand. It’s a middle finger to fascism, apathy, and billionaires who mistake empathy for weakness — who treat people as nothing more than a means to their own riches. It’s for everyone who still believes in truth, democracy, equality, and simple human decency. But hopefully it's also fun, and interesting, and sometimes weird.
Not everyone wants to march or argue online. We all fight in our own way. Sometimes wearing a shirt that says what you feel is the easiest way to be heard. Sometimes an image — a crossed-out crown, two skeletons hugging — says more than words ever could.
I want the Rebellion to be a protest against authoritarianism and fascism but I also want it to be a call for positive change. A call for kindness; for empathy; for hugs; for understanding.
I also try to help Americans in the process, whenever possible and hope to grow to all local vendors asap. For now, most items we sell are sourced, whenever possible, from American companies and made in the USA or the Americas and Mexico. All are high quality products. I want designs to come from us and from you — the people who buy and wear the products. Please send ideas and share inspiration. Let's remind the world that we won't stop believing in freedom & democracy, and empathy & compassion.
Because empathy is strength and resisting fascism is patriotic!
This is rebellion with heart.
This is how we fight back — one shirt at a time. Please join us.
