As you’re out prowling for holiday gifts, consider supporting some of these incredible artists, journalists, activists, and entrepreneurs. It’s hard to pay the bills doing what you love, and I know these folks would be thankful for your support (and so would those receiving what they’ve made!).
So, here are 21 gift ideas for your activist friends (or, for that family member you are oh-so-politely trying to educate without getting into an argument).
