Far-right extremists are flooding public spaces with propaganda, misinformation, and recruitment materials curated to drive a wedge between neighbors by demonizing people belonging to certain marginalized groups.
And to that we say fuck that Nazi shit.
We know diversity gives us strength and everyone deserves to be free and happy. And safe from threats of extermination and discrimination.
The time is long gone that any one of us could pretend to ignore what’s happening. Everyone with the means (and the relative privilege) must push back NOW against hateful ideologies and ideologues in creative ways big and small.
The good news is you don’t need a massive platform, a big budget, or even professional art skills to resist hate and build solidarity in your community.
You just need stickers.
Street art activism — particularly stickering — is one of the simplest, most effective, and lowest-risk ways to disrupt hate, spread truth, and take back our shared spaces from those promoting hateful ideologies.
And the best part? Anyone can do it.
You don’t need fancy equipment — just a printer and some sticker paper!
No sticker-cutting machine like a Silhouette or Cricut is required to make stickers. If you have a basic inkjet or laser printer at home, you’re already set.
- Step 1: Get sticker paper. You can find inkjet or laser-compatible sticker sheets online or at office supply stores. Letter-size sheets are simple and work great because you can use them to print large individual stickers or sheets of smaller stickers.
- Step 2: Download free sticker designs. We have a growing collection of bold, punchy, and pro-justice designs that you can print at home. (Or make your own using free tools like Canva.)
- Step 3: Cut the stickers out with scissors, an X-Acto knife, or a paper cutter. Your cuts don’t have to be perfect; stickers used for street art sometimes live a short life. That’s why it’s important they get their message across quickly.
- Step 4: Stick ‘em where they’re needed. Cover up hate speech, put a message of resistance where people will see it, or just remind those feeling targeted by the new administration that there are people in the neighborhood who will stand with them.
Why Stickers? Because They Work.
Stickers are small but mighty. They spread fast, they’re hard to ignore, and they change the visual and psychological landscape of public spaces in an instant. Don’t feel like making your own? Check out our stickers in our merch shop!
💥 They disrupt far-right propaganda. Stickering is a direct action that neutralizes and replaces harmful messaging.
🌎 They reclaim space. When you put up an antifascist sticker, you’re making a statement: “This space does not belong to fascists.”
📢 They amplify resistance. A single sticker might be small, but when thousands of people do this, it adds up to a movement.
