The Know Your Rights Camp works to advance the liberation and well-being of black and brown communities through education, self-empowerment, mass-mobilization, and the creation of new systems that elevate the next generation of change leaders through legal defense, COVID-19 relief, and youth empowerment programs. Frost’s goal is to raise $5 million for the organization via public donations, corporate pledges, merchandise, and special auction, via the telethon.
Cactus Plant Flea Market has collaborated with Frost on merchandise for the telethon, with 100 percent of proceeds going to Know Your Rights Camp. The collaboration will consist of blue sweatshirts and pink t-shirts featuring details of the telethon with special text in a puffy print- and a can’t-miss graphic of Frost’s face. A jumbo pencil engraved with the telethon name and one of Know Your Rights Camp’s ultimate missions ‘Write 2 Higher Learning’ will also be available for purchase. The Cactus Plant Flea Market merchandise collaboration will be available on Tuesday, August 11th at 12pm EST.
