Ways to support this project

No, this page isn't just about giving money. But yes, that is the first thing I need to ask for.

Donate to help cover my printing and shipping costs

It costs me $390 to print 1,000 buttons, and $440 to mail them all out in packs of 20 - so if just 5% of the people who receive a free button donated $16.60 each, I would break even. I can operate at a loss for a while, but to have enough time and capacity to really scale this as big as it needs to be (and eventually start printing buttons at an even cheaper bulk rate), I need as much help as I can get.

Give feedback

I know I'm not a brilliant visual designer or persuasive writer, and I threw together the initial version of this website and the designs for the buttons and flyers in the few weeks before the No Kings protests (although I've since improved the DemocraSÍ design considerably). I would love any feedback that could help me improve my designs and thereby reach more people more effectively! Here are three ways you can help:

Thanks so much for your help!
