Bring it home.
Three clothing ranges. A graphic novel in print. Organic cotton, printed to order — designs you won't find anywhere else.
Organic tees and hoods, printed to order in the UK — no inventory, no waste, free returns. A journal worth holding. Events worth leaving the house for. And every purchase lands in a community-owned pot that stays working for Black queer men in the UK.
Apparel.
Three ranges, fulfilled by Teemill — print-on-demand, organic, low-waste. Read what each range is for, then buy where it's printed.
BLKOUT Proud
Pride pieces — joy as a political act.
range 02Brother to Brother
Joseph Beam's revolutionary act, worn out loud.
range 03Black Queer Icons UK
Our forebears — worn into the present.
BLKOUT earns the margin, Teemill prints + ships, no inventory risk. The buying decision happens here; the cart happens there.
Drops.
Limited print runs, threshold-to-print. You commit at order; we charge once enough of us are in. No inventory, no waste.
You're not charged until the print run triggers. If a drop doesn't reach threshold, no card gets touched. More drops as partnerships confirm.
Membership.
Three ways into the cooperative. None are about influence — governance is one-member-one-vote, regardless. All are about access.
In-kind
Activity, not money
Refer, share, upvote, witness. Everyone gives something.
II£3 /mo
Sustaining
One coffee a month, given to a cooperative you can vote inside.
III£10 /mo
Patron
Same vote. Same room. More of the work that gets made because you're sustaining it.
Events.
Workshops, panels, gatherings. Tickets where they're priced; free where they're not. Sustaining and patron tiers carry concessions the board is finalising.
10:30
Rage Trip: a morning on rage, with Victor Esses and Francis Christeller
Stanley Arts, 12 South Norwood Hill, London SE25 6AB
Courses.
BLKOUT-developed learning, delivered through BLKOUTHUB. The teacher is the headline. The first cohort is in the works.
Donate.
Any amount. No strings. Zeffy charges no platform fees, so 100% reaches BLKOUT.
Donations don't get you a vote — that's what membership is for. They just back the work. If you want a say too, membership is the way in.
Any surplus serves the community. Never extracted.
