Common Ground Series
Hold convictions. Keep the conversation open.
Shared humanity and civil liberty protect us all.
Common Ground Tie-Dye — $35 + tax
Printed in the USA. Some blanks may not be USMCA-compliant. Free shipping.
The Common Ground Series is designed to spark respectful conversation across differences. Each shirt is uniquely hand-dyed, making every piece one of a kind. A subtle QR code on the back shoulder (optional, just $2 more) connects scanners to our “Respect Across Differences” page — a space for real stories, shared values, and open dialogue.
You can choose your logo color (black or white) and placement — either over the right pocket area or across the chest.
While every shirt is printed in the United States, some tie-dye blanks may originate outside the USMCA region. We test all colors and sizes for durability and QR readability to ensure consistent IMThreads quality.
Bulk pricing discounts apply automatically at 25, 50, and 100 shirts, and shipping is always free.
And every purchase helps make an impact — an unmatched 25% of IMThreads net profits go directly to Turning Point USA, supporting its mission to educate students about the importance of limited government, free markets, and constitutional values.
Why this page exists
Many of us learned that to stand firm we must stand apart. Yet America’s strength has always come from free people talking, disagreeing, learning, and forgiving. That freedom belongs to everyone—gay, straight, Christian, atheist, conservative, liberal, or uncertain. You don’t need to hide conviction to treat others with dignity, and you don’t need to surrender conscience to be kind. The goal here isn’t conversion or compromise; it’s conversation.
Freedom of speech and conscience allow people of different beliefs to live side by side. Around the world, those freedoms are rare. In some countries, people are punished for what they say about faith or identity. Here, we can still talk openly. That is worth protecting. When we use our liberty to listen, we strengthen the very idea of America.
Moderation & Safety: We oppose harassment, doxxing, and violence against anyone. We welcome good‑faith stories and dialogue.
What we stand for
Shared Humanity
Every person carries inherent worth. We see the person before the position and the story before the slogan.
Civil Liberty
Free speech, free exercise of religion, and freedom of association protect everyone especially minorities of thought.
Local Community
Trust grows when neighbors serve together. Practical care changes minds faster than online arguments.
Stories of respect across differences
We collect short, real-world snapshots where conviction and kindness work together. These are quiet wins—handshakes after hard talks, cooperation after disagreement, and service that speaks louder than status updates.
Coat Drive: A Christian fellowship and an LGBTQ club partnered for a winter coat drive. Disagreement remained, respect deepened.
Two Speakers, One Room: Opposing voices shared a stage; the event ended in thanks and a few changed minds.
How to use this shirt
If someone asks what it means, try: “It’s about respect across differences—keeping conversation alive even when we disagree.” You don’t have to debate every point; the QR code shares the heart behind it and offers next steps for anyone who’s curious.
- Ask questions first; learn the human story before the hot take.
- Keep your tone steady—firm on conviction, generous in spirit.
- It’s fine to say, “I’m still learning.”
