Welcome to Woke Left News
When we first started Woke Left Apparel, it was a bit of a joke — a playful response to being called “woke” by people who clearly meant it as an insult. We decided if standing for equality, compassion, and progress made us “woke,” then we would wear it proudly — literally, on a T-shirt.
But as the world kept shifting, we realized something: our passion wasn’t just about slogans on clothing. Both of us — Louise Mignault and Julia Lucio — have spent years writing and speaking up for progressive causes. Journalism, activism, and storytelling have always been in our blood. It only made sense to create something bigger.
That’s why Woke Left News was born.
A place where we could bring progressive journalism, unapologetic commentary, and grassroots truth-telling together under one banner — one that wears “woke” as a badge of honour, not an insult.
We believe in fairness, in social justice, and in asking hard questions. We believe in a future where people — not corporations, not billionaires, not power-hungry politicians — come first.
Thanks for being here. We’re just getting started.
