Backbone needs your help to facilitate more actions that make an impact:
If you're excited about Backbone's brand of artful activism and want to fuel more actions like these, please make a donation here. Being the Nation's Prop Library for Progressive Activism requires a monthly budget for staff, supplies, warehouse space rent, imagery shipping, and more. We're all in this together, and we cannot do this without your support.
Join the Lumbar Club by making a monthly recurring donation - currently, donors like you contribute anywhere from $5/month to $200/month! Whatever fits into your budget will help get more lights, banners, and GOBOs into the hands of change agents everywhere.
Together, we can transform crisis into opportunity and despair into hope by taking impactful action on the issues we all care about. And action by action, we'll build the world we aspire to create.
Forward Together!
Team Backbone
