Giant ART from STMP

Between April 2nd – April 10th, we’re organizing the #DefundClimateChaos Week of Arts Action. We anticipate that this will be the largest coordinated street art action ever (that we know of!). Can you help?

Here’s the deal:

We are printing 30,000 giant street art posters ― each one 5 1/2 feet tall x 3 1/2 feet wide. There are six different designs, each created by movement artists. We want to get these works of art into the hands of thousands of activists across the country who will get them up in their communities.

This is where you come in.

Will you sign up to get a couple of sets of the street art designs and commit to getting your climate action group, friends, family, or neighbors together to get this powerful climate movement art up in your community?

It can take up to two weeks or longer for the art to arrive, so please don’t hesitate to sign up. Once you sign up, we will send you a batch of artwork from six different artists from across the climate movement. We will also provide you with a resource guide and manual that has everything you need to know to make sure you’re using the art in the most powerful way possible.

On Tuesday, March 29th at 5PT/8ET we will host a Virtual Arts Training with long-time movement artists and activists, David Solnit, Jetsonorama (aka Chip Thomas), and others. In the training, we will walk you through step-by-step tips for pasting the posters up, using the art in actions, and setting up a pop-up art show.

Why are we doing this?

Wall Street banks are funding the climate crisis. Since the Paris Agreement, six US banks have loaned $1.2 trillion to the fossil fuel industry. But they would rather nobody knew that. So they greenwash their business and tell us lies to make us think they’re taking the climate crisis seriously.

We need to help people see the truth about Wall Street’s role in the climate crisis. And we’re going to do that with art. They say that an image is worth 1,000 words. So how many words will 30,000 #DefundClimateChaos images all over the country be worth?

Sign up to join the #DefundClimateChaos Week of Arts Action today.
