Fertilise The "First They Came For" Project
Help design resources grow where they’re most needed
Design is power — especially when it speaks clearly, shows up fast and helps a movement stay visible, bold, and sharp
Through The “First They Came For” Project, I create free design resources for campaigns I believe in — movements defending land, rights, truth, and dissent. As things grow, I envisage this project evolving into a collective of designers and artists connecting with campaigns and campaigners.
Right now, your support helps fertilise:
Palestine Action – frontline direct action against weapons factories
Free speech and independent media – including whistleblowers, journalists and press freedom campaigns
Resisting the criminalisation of dissent – where protest is being recast as “terrorism”
Design outputs range from shareable social media graphics to protest banners, t-shirts, infographics and more. The faster I can work, the more useful this visual work becomes — especially in urgent or high-pressure moments.
This project is a seedbed. Your support helps it grow.
