Teramachi, the new senior housing development anchoring the southern edge of Little Tokyo, just welcomed a new tenant to its corner commercial space at 3rd and San Pedro.

No, it’s not a pharmacy or life insurance company — Teramachi is the new headquarters of MulTEEpurpose, a progressive casual clothing company with an agenda to promote humanity.

Founded on the simple observation that tee shirts can serve as walking billboards, the company fuses style with messages that advocate social, environmental and ideological issues around the world. Animal rights, genocide prevention and universal respect are the themes of some collections.

MulTEEpurpose refers to itself as a hybrid business, a for profit operation which partners with domestic and international nonprofits to create awareness through “effortless activism.” A portion of the company’s clothing sale proceeds are donated to a relevant organizations engaged in projects supportive of those causes.

So, be part of the solution… and… buy a tee shirt?
