About Us

Commonweal Institute

The Commonweal Institute offers a unique selection of non partisan apparel and gift items for those who want to see America invest in healthcare and education opportunities for all, provide a safety net for seniors and the disadvantaged, rebuild our infrastructure, and clean up the environment.  We, like you, are tired of needless wars and crony capitalism. It’s all about preserving America’s democracy through campaign reforms and fair elections, helping the least among us, and making America’s Founders proud.  

We make most of our merchandise and ship it to people, businesses, political groups and local action networks from our facility in the Midwest.

We are members of UFCW Local 5 in San Jose, California, and we use American made tees and sweatshirts in an effort to sell only American made products.

Order Processing

For your convenience, orders are processed using a safe and secure order processing system. You will receive e-mail confirmation of your order, and orders will be processed immediately, although some items may take an extra week for delivery as they are often made to order. Please allow at least a week for delivery, even though we will attempt to ship your order within 24-48 hours.
