The outspoken advocate against domestic violence and rape is partnering with the Detroit Hustles Harder clothing line to sell “Our Issue” T-shirts. All proceeds from the shirts will go to the Enough SAID program in Detroit.

Enough SAID is a collaboration between multiple organizations and the Wayne County, Mich., Prosecutor’s Office—run by the indomitable Kym Worthy—and 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 “#DomesticViolence and #SexualAssault aren’t just women’s issues. They’re #OurIssue.”

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