Some inspiration from BUGA-UP in days gone by and the Commons Social Change Library:
During physical distancing those seeking to ensure truth in advertising and brand correction can still do so through the addition, deletion and alteration of text and images via stickers, posters and other means.
Back in the 1980s and 1990s Billboard Utilising Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions (BUGA-UP) revised hundreds of misleading advertisements around Australia. Their work played a major role in forcing health issues related to tobacco and alcohol onto the public agenda, changing the narrative around sports sponsorship and the image of drug dealing companies in the process.
In more recent times activists seeking to highlight the role of major banks in accelerating climate change have used similar tactics. In mid-2019 the Commonwealth Bank became the first major Australian bank to signal it would pull out of thermal coal production, although not fully until 2030 and until Australia has a “secure energy platform.” These Coal Bank images appeared on various Facebook pages during 2017 and 2018.

I’m going to raise some money to get 200 posters up with the help of Rick Posters. What do you think of these designs? Got any other suggestions?

Apologies! I can’t find that document gone with all the links in it. Could someone please add this link to it and these examples - or some others? https://extinctionrebellion.fr/vizgen/#/presets/quote
It’s a really great poster generator.
You can make posters like these in about five minutes each!

We have an artist who has offered to paint some murals for us, but we need some fences and buildings to put them on. Can you suggest a location? Or a design?
