STAY VOCAL

We're not on here much these days. But we did want to share this post that will resonate with many of our community. https://www.escapethewaste.com/post/more-handshakes-less-pats-on-the-back-and-less-division

This is a memory that I won't forget from The Good Trade Makers Market this past weekend in Burlington, Vermont. A woman came over and let me know that she had spilled her entire coffee next to the shirt rack. I was of course worried about the plethora of white shirts on the rack, but also that poor coffee didn't get enjoyed! Fortunately, the spill didn't hit any of the shirts.

Well, I asked the woman if she would act as the "wet floor cone" and if her husband would go to the front desk to let the event organizers know about it. Within a couple minutes, my buddy, Ethen the Security Cowboy, came over and took care of the situation.

This photo represents so much more than just a dude cleaning up a mess. It represents the community that The Good Trade Makers Market is all about and the positive vibes that are always present at Ampersand Creative's events.

It also represents how busy our booth was this weekend. I'm hoping that the woman was so enthralled by our designs that she dropped her coffee. Thank you to the Burlington and Vermont community for supporting our brand and reuse in general. I look forward to coming back and seeing more shirts in the wild.

Thank you again Ethen. And thank you Robin, BJ and your entire team for another great event. We so look forward to in February.

Cheers. -

Communication. Collaboration. Create Community. Create Change.

More than ever, the division is literally dividing us and doing much more bad than good. We NEED to see this in black and white. Because, again, loud and clear, AS LONG AS WE ARE ALL SHARING THE SAME PLANET, WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. 🤝

For our fellow citizens, there are a few remaining Citizen shirts in the shop for FREE. (Shipping not included, 1 per customer)

🙋‍♂️ Heads up. I'm giving away all remaining Citizen tees, long sleeves and sweatshirts for FREE. I'm tired of people disregarding so many things because of a label. I'm tired of the divide. And I'm really, really tired of a lack of progress when it comes to the environment. If we truly want to move forward and heal, we have to start conversations as citizens. -

Our new landing page on our website celebrates over 20 years of our community of changemakers. Thank you! stayvocal.com

The goats at Song of the Robin Animal Sanctuary are checking out our new collab shirt with our friends at One Living Sanctuary in Martinez, CA. The cows in Martinez of course approve. Animal and shirt rescuers unite!
