AMAZON LABOR UNION MERCH MAY SPOOK BEZOS
Kudos to Amazon Labor Union for the designs of their new and super fun Halloween merch! Their messaging and design is so clever, and well executed. We’d say it’s a thriller! (we couldn’t help ourselves LOL)
WOODY's GHOST WOULD DEFINITELY WEAR THIS
This brand new shirt design features the refrain from folk hero Woody Guthrie’s classic 1944 song, which has been repeatedly covered and adapted by successive generations of anti-fascists. It also features a reproduction of Ricardo Levins Morales’ vintage woodcut of Guthrie holding his guitar. Sing it loud and wear it proud: those fascists bound to lose!
AN ETERNAL MESSAGE FROM THE WFP
The Working Families Party is a growing progressive political organization that fights for an economy that works for all of us. They consider themselves to be a political home for all of us who see bigotry, bailouts, and business as usual in our political system and ask, “Is that the best we can do?”. They are “building the non-delusional, multiracial, grassroots, feminist political party of our dreams”, and creating some effective branded merch to support those efforts!
BURYING THE STATUS QUO
Organized Power in Numbers is an org on a mission is to level up campaigns and win big for workers, their families, and their communities. Workers and their communities don’t get power through backroom deals, big campaign contributions, or being related to someone in office. This org knows we get power when we get together. They’re growing a movement to challenge the status quo and build a country and economy that centers workers instead of corporations and billionaires.
WHO's AFRAID OF CURSIVE?
This coalition of community groups is organizing parents across the state to keep New York true to its promise of ensuring a high quality public education. AQE (www.AQENY.org) is working to end the systemic racism and economic oppression across New York that’s shortchanging generations of Black, Brown, low-income and immigrant children. They’re combining legislative and policy expertise with grassroots organizing to create a powerful public demand for a high quality education.
IF PORTLAND HAD A GHOST, IT WOULD BE CASPER
While there are definitely frightening things descending on one of its cities right now, everything’s friendly at the Washington Center for Employee Ownership (WACEO). They’re peacefully marching toward empowering business owners, workers, and service providers to build a thriving, broad-based employee-owned business sector across Washington State. Including Portland!
