What is the NC Collective? 

Our Story is Our Cause.

It began in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District with a collective of rooted organizers, educators, and healers. They saw a need for a different kind of change—one built on healing, political education, and direct action. They called it Nuestra Causa, "Our Cause."

Today, Nuestra Causa is a powerful, fiscally sponsored project that stands with and for our communities. It’s the Sembrando Esperanza food program that nourishes hundreds of families every month. It’s the Hombro a Hombro support circles where system and gang impacted men and women, including monolingual Spanish speakers, find healing, connection, and growth on the road of reentry. It’s the Raíz Política workshops that demystify power and turn residents into advocates. It’s a movement that empowers those most impacted by injustice to lead the fight for their own liberation.

But a movement needs resources. It needs a way to grow and sustain itself.

That’s why we built Nuestra Causa Collective (NC Collective).

NC Collective is a public benefit corporation with a clear and unwavering mission: to ensure the work of Nuestra Causa not only continues, but thrives. We create urban apparel that carries the spirit of the movement in its threads. Our designs are for the conscious, the committed, and the community-minded.

100% of our profit is dedicated to funding the programs of Nuestra Causa.

When you wear NC Collective, you are doing more than making a fashion statement. You are becoming part of the story. You are casting a vote for a world where the most marginalized are at the center of change. You are providing the resources that build leaders, heal trauma, and feed families.

This is style with substance. This is a garment that serves.

Wear the story. Support the work. Be the cause.
