This hoodie isn't just clothing—it's a statement against the abuse endured by both people and animals at First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, and Hyles-Anderson College. As a survivor of brainwashing, physical, mental, and sexual abuse, and coercive tactics like the swallowing of live goldfish (a regular practice to manipulate children to come to church), I created this design to bring attention to and support  the story of surivors like me. #GoldfishLivesMatter represents the fight against the control and manipulation that swallowed the innocence, heart, soul, and mind of countless young individuals.

Features:

  • Made with a medium-heavy fabric (8.0 oz/yd², 271 g/m²) blend of 50% cotton and 50% polyester, providing plush, soft, and warm comfort.
  • Classic fit with a spacious kangaroo pocket for daily practicality.
  • Tear-away label for a scratch-free wearing experience.
  • Color-matched drawcord and double-lined hood for durability and style.
  • 100% ethically grown US cotton and OEKO-TEX-certified dyes ensure low environmental impact.
  • Available in various sizes and colors, including Heather Sport colors (60% polyester, 40% cotton blend).

Purpose: #GoldfishLivesMatter isn't just a slogan—it's a rallying cry for change. By wearing this hoodie, you stand with survivors and advocate for the end of coercion and abuse at Hyles-Anderson College, First Baptist Church of Hammond, and similiarly abusive religious institutions. Each purchase contributes to raising awareness and supporting those affected by abuse.
