NEW NYCSE APPAREL!

One day, my friends and I were meeting to coordinate our school's involvement with the walkout, and the idea to make merch developed organically. We had the logo and found places to buy the supplies, but no idea how to do anything. When I mentioned the project to my neighbor Louis, he immediately offered us his assistance and studio in the Entrance Gallery. After that, it was all pretty easy. We set up on a chilly Saturday in April, turned on some music, and banged out 70 sweatshirts in less than two hours. Earlier today, we got together and printed 30 more, and we plan to make another run of white ones printed with orange ink for NYCSE team. My friends and I have been selling them at our middle-school and it has been incredibly inspiring to see how much support NYC Says Enough receives there. The whole printing and selling process has been such a meaningful chance to talk to kids I don’t typically speak with about our shared beliefs surrounding gun law reform. Everyone is so excited for the protest on April 20, and to continue fighting for common sense gun laws after that event. Check out NYCSE's Redbubble for our mass-produced merchandise here and keep an eye out for more hand printed sweatshirts to come soon! The profits help to fund NYC Says Enough's upcoming walkout/rally on April 20th. Check out the NYCSE apparel here!
