Frequently Asked Questions

Why are you selling merchandise?

We created these limited-edition items to celebrate the launch of the series, share the story with a wider audience, and help support the ongoing work of the project and our partner organizations.

Many of the original concerts were powered by volunteers, artists, and supporters who believed culture could inspire action. This collection continues that spirit.

Where do the proceeds go?

Net proceeds support:

Freedom Needs a Soundtrack
Students for a Free Tibet
Tibet Action Institute

These organizations work to support Tibetan freedom, human rights, nonviolent action, and the preservation of Tibetan culture and identity.

What is special about the preorder shirts?

These shirts were created exclusively for the launch of Freedom Needs a Soundtrack and are available for a limited time through preorder.

They are printed on premium tees and produced in a single production run.

Once the preorder period closes, they may not be available again.

When will the preorder shirts ship?

Our shirts are currently available by preorder only.

Preorders will be produced after the preorder window closes. We will begin shipping mid August 2026.

Why is this a preorder?

To avoid overproduction and reduce waste, shirts are produced based on the number of orders received. This also allows us to offer limited-edition designs without maintaining large inventories.

Can I return or exchange my shirt?

Because these shirts are produced specifically for each preorder run, returns and exchanges are extremely limited.

If your item arrives damaged or there is a problem with your order, please contact us and we'll do our best to make it right.

Where are the shirts printed?

Our shirts are printed in the USA.

For all purchases, what is your returns policy?

We want you to love your purchase.

If your order arrives damaged, incorrect, or has a manufacturing defect, please contact us within 14 days of delivery and we'll make it right.

Because every purchase helps support Freedom Needs a Soundtrack and organizations advancing Tibetan freedom and human rights, we're unable to accept returns for change of mind or incorrect size selections unless otherwise noted on the product page.

If you have any questions before ordering, we're always happy to help. Just reach out and we'll do our best to assist.

Where do orders ship from?

Orders ship from New York unless otherwise noted. They are typically processed within 7 business days. Once your order is on its way, you'll receive a shipping confirmation with tracking information.

Please note that delivery times vary based on destination and shipping carrier.
