A Note About We The People

January 31, 2017

All of us involved with the We The People campaign have been overwhelmed and energized by the incredible response to the images we created and distributed physically and virally. The images have continued to proliferate and hold a consistent presence at many of the protests against Trump’s “Muslim ban.” We feel the We The People messages are powerful for all of us who resist fear and bigotry to rally around. The entire project is about activism and is not for profit. Unfortunately, many people are attempting to exploit the popularity of the images. On the one hand, we are happy the images are out in the world, but on the other, we’d prefer to continue the work of the Amplifier Foundation if funds are to be raised. Aaron Huey has a great solution. Thank you all for your support! – Shepard

In Aaron’s own words:

FRIENDS! In response to an outpouring of requests for prints after the Kickstarter closed we have opened up a way for donors to receive the last of our Kickstarter 24 x 36″ lithograph prints through our website. This is the only legitimate place online to get prints of the art. We have been notified of dozens of pirate sites trying to profit from this campaign, and it is important to note that no one is distributing this art legally outside of Obey Clothing and the Amplifier Foundation.

Since we are not a retailer, and we really want to move these images through the world, we are not offering them one at a time, and are instead offering bundles of 6 and 10 to donors. We will be using funds raised from these final prints to pay for the production and distribution of this art to ANY school, library, or museum in the United States that wants to display them.  We want them to be a constant reminder to the next generation of our TRUE values in the United States. To get them at the institution of your choosing please go to WeThePeopleAre.org and enter the school, library, or museum info (shipping in march).  

If you cant afford to donate, remember that ALL the art is FREE to download via our website (for non-commercial use only). You can print just about any size! If you print and spread the work, please share where it ends up by tagging us! – Aaron
