The outspoken advocate against domestic violence and rape is partnering with the Detroit Hustles Harder clothing line to sell โ€œOur Issueโ€ T-shirts. All proceeds from the shirts will go to the Enough SAID program in Detroit.

Enough SAIDย is a collaboration between multiple organizations and the Wayne County, Mich., Prosecutorโ€™s Officeโ€”run by the indomitable Kym Worthyโ€”andย is raising money to test more 11,000 rape kits found in a warehouse in the Motor City in 2009.

In a recent Instagram post, Levy said in part that โ€œ#DomesticViolence and #SexualAssault arenโ€™t just women's issues. Theyโ€™re #OurIssue.โ€

Levy has also spoken out on the issues of sexual assault, Colin Kaepernickโ€™s protest against police violence and even the NFLโ€™s brain-trauma research, according to ESPN.
