New Tank Tops, Free Art Print, and Resources for Fighting Injustice
Greetings fellow Conformists,
I sent my last email just days before George Floyd was murdered by police, and protests broke out across the nation. In light of the blatant injustices inherent in our system, I wanted to share a few resources I have encountered for learning about Black people's experiences and the experiences of essential workers during the pandemic, and supporting justice for Black people.
Resources for Learning About and Helping Those Suffering Injustice
- Anti Racism Resources compiled by Sarah Sophie Flicker and Alyssa Klein
- Listening to Black Voices Amid Murder, Violence, Protest, and Pandemic curated by Jason Kottke
- 75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice by Corinne Shutack on Medium
- The Black Plague by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor in the New Yorker
- This is a Crisis. - stories from essential workers and unemployed / underemployed people
Free Art Print for Conformists
Registered Conformists have received a block print, carved and printed by myself, Director Drake Starling, as thanks for joining the Bureau. If you are not a Registered Conformist (been issued a Conformist ID Number), you can register to receive yours. Five prints are available.
Shop Updates
Shipping Now "Free"
Shipping costs are now included in the price of all products. The Bureau decided to make this change because we want pricing to be as clear as possible; in the age of Amazon, an added shipping fee may feel like an upcharge on the expected cost.
Registered Conformist and "friend and family" discounts still apply. Washington State customers pay tax because Bureau Headquarters are located in state.
New Bamboo Tank Tops Available for Summer
Tank tops with a new design, "the fruits of your labor," are available in women's and unisex sizing. The shirts are a soft, breathable bamboo-organic cotton blend so you can stay comfortable in the warmer weather. The women's shirt is gray and the unisex shirt is white.
Additionally, new design "Inchoate" is available in women's and unisex sizes. Both shirts are white, the same cooling bamboo-organic cotton blend.
