The secondhand store in Tivoli redistributes proceeds to grassroots social justice initiatives working in racial and disability justice and queer liberation.
What started as a series of pop-up clothing sales to raise money for activist groups and organizers during the summer of 2020's social justice protests, Thrift 2 Fight has grown into a movement uses the ethos of thrifting to fund racial justice work, disability activism, and queer liberation. Founded by friends in Red Hook, the Thrift 2 Fight team traveled all over New York State in 2021 before coming back to Dutchess County, where the team opened a brick and mortar thrift store on Broadway in Tivoli in January.
