The word is still spreading about the
   
We were invited to meet with students from the Bronx at the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action, where the students took their action into the streets, and also with students in Manhattan at the High School for New Design. We have also been in the streets of Brooklyn where people have spontaneously engaged in conversations in response to our signs. We will bring their messages of solidarity from NYC to Ferguson when we go there in early October. We will also carry with us the solidarity and support  from all over which arose immediately after the campaign was launched twenty-eight days ago and continues to grow.


 
This grassroots effort continues to raise funds to print hundreds of UNARMED CIVILIAN t-shirts to bring to Ferguson. We have put in an order to print 550 UNARMED CIVILIAN t-shirts and will be adding to this count as we receive the final donations.  

We have
two days left to our KICKSTARTER campaign.

Every dollar counts and every $10
puts
one shirt on one body.
 
WE COMMIT TO PRINT AS MANY UNARMED CIVILIAN
T-SHIRTS AS YOU AFFORD US THE ABILITY TO PRINT, and we will distribute each and everyone in an act of solidarity.




Our commitment, throughout all our work, is to provide language to which people can relate and vehicles through which they may express themselves, collectively or individually. We do not print any of our identifying information on our language project t-shirts or signs so that when someone chooses to embody a message or hold it up high, what resonates is the power of that person.  

 
  Dare to dream...
 
1,000 UNARMED CIVILIANS standing against 
police brutality, against militarism and,
at the core of it all, against racism.
 

Take the time... Please send this out

and if you can, make a donation.

WE WILL NOT BE SILENT is an artist/activist collective that has been in existence since 2006. Through the creative use of language embodied on shirts and emboldened on signs held up in public spaces, we respond to current social justice issues, encouraging creative, direct public-actions where many people can participate.
