Stickers


Click here to purchase stickers at BuyOlympia.com


Retail and wholesale is run through BuyOlympia.
(If you’re a shop, you can order wholesale here.)


Select styles also available from Flower Press!


Since 2020, all (of my) profits from the sticker store are donated to grassroots organizations working in community to fight endemic racism, generational poverty, violence, and deep inequities suffered by people within the white supremacist capitalist patriarchal machine of the United States (and beyond!) I do my best to choose organizations that are led by and support Black people, Indigenous people, and other People of Color, as well as LGBTQIA+ people. These donations are not going to big non-profit orgs with fundraising staff, but to people on the ground organizing in their own communities.

Stickers ship regularly from Portland, Oregon, and I make donations at the end of each year. Find donation records beneath the images. Please do not let the purchase of some stickers be the extent of your action. Liberation for all requires participation.

Since 2020, your sticker store purchases have raised $15,655.25 for grassroots organizations. Buy more stickers!!!

May 2 — I’ve decided to widen the scope of organizations who receive donations, motivated by a desire to give to Indigenous organizations. I’m also going to start donating at the end of each year, because accounting is really hard otherwise.

September — Starting in September, 2021, my friends at BuyOlympia will fulfill all sticker orders. I will now be donating all of MY profits. They are doing me a huge service by keeping the stickers in stock, reordering directly from StickerGuy when needed, and shipping to you much quicker than I am able to do...so they will keep a cut of the sales to account for all of that labor and responsibility. If you have a store, you can set up a wholesale account with them, easy! Click here!
