White Rose Resistance Cards — Here is the downloadable pdf. Example of one card above (with “hand drawn” element.

Deportations, book bans, trans persecution, dismantling essential government agencies, etc... This is really happening. NOW. Be heard. Been seen. ACT.

These cards honor the work done by the White Rose Group, whose pamphlets distributed in Nazi Germany, spread truth in a time when only lies were allowed. Today we stand on their broad shoulders, and those of printers everywhere, who throughout history, often by setting type letter by letter, brought forth broadsides and posters to inspire bravery and resistance to tyranny.

Feel free to print and distribute. The above pdf can be printed and cut at home, or at a copy shop, and should be place in the world (with some added handmade elements!) to be be found/discovered. Cards can be left in coffee shops, libraries, public spots, benches, bus stops, bank counters- in any public spaces or sent as postcards.
