I put together a quick flyer for us to print out for tomorrow’s Good Trouble Again protest. (Find events near you on the map at their website!)
It was made in Krita (Scribus probably would’ve been better, but I didn’t have time to learn it), using graphics from old IWW pamphlets.
It recommends:
- Collective action and Unionizing with the IWW
- What a General Strike is
- Building community with a link to the Food Not Bombs website (probably the weakest section)
- A section on Solarpunk with text from the manifesto, along with a link to slrpnk.net!
- Ends with imploring readers to talk to the people around them at the protest and form connections.
The flyer is 2 pages designed to fit on a standard US Letter in landscape orientation to enable 2 flyers per page, and intended to be printed double-sided in long-edge mode.
You can create a PDF of the 2 pages for easier printing in Libreoffice Draw (go to Page > Page Properties > Enable Landscape Orientation, and reduce margins to 0.25")

If the double flyers aren’t working out for you, I also have a single page version. (without the section imploring reader to talk to the people around them)

This is awesome! For anyone planning to attend protests, don’t forget portable power for your phones/cameras. Having a reliable power source can be crucial during long events. I’ve been checking out some LFP-based options on gearscouts.com/power-stations lately - they have great $/Wh comparisons for compact options that won’t weigh you down.
I’d noticed your comments advertising that site in past, but since you regularly engaged with lemmy outside of advertising your battery deals site, I didn’t feel the need to step in. But astroturfing your site as though you’re a random activist who ‘just so happened to be looking at this cool site that’s totally not mine™’ is a step too far, treading into scummy territory.
I don’t want to see any more links to gearscouts on slrpnk.net communities from this point forward. And if you decide to continue to advertise on other instances; for gods sake man, just own that it’s yours.
