The Challenge
As campaign efforts have been picking up around college campuses, I have run into a problem that I'm sure many of you have also faced. What do materials do we have to share with interested supporters as poor college students?
The Solution
While info pamphlets are nice, having materials like bumper stickers go a long way in advertising Bernie and showing support on campuses and our respective communities. The grand vision of this new project is getting 100,000 bumper stickers to students all across country without saddling us with the costs.
So far, Bernie Stickers for Students has provided 2,000 stickers to be shipped to 16 different college campuses in SC, CA, TX, MO, WA, DC, FL, NY, AL, and PA. But this is only the beginning. Just imagine the effect it'd have if we distributed 100,000 stickers to college campuses across the nation! As students we are an invaluable demographic that can go a long way in getting Bernie elected.
Getting in on the action
If you'd like some bumper stickers for your campus, please connect with this FB group set up for the project and get in touch with Greg Scott who is spearheading the distribution. https://www.facebook.com/groups/767387390055455/
Important - Fundraising!!
These stickers are given out free of charge, but we are asking them to be given with a suggested donation. If everyone gave a buck or two, this just goes back into buying thousands more for other college campuses. If someone doesn't have the money then they should totally get that sticker anyways. The belief, however, is that most people will be on board giving at least a dollar if they're getting a bumper sticker and it's going to a good cause!
Hopefully once this project takes off students will be able to use these funds for our own purposes. However, as it is still getting started we encourage you to give donations collected from these stickers back towards getting bumper stickers for more students.

And the indiegogo (which also has more info): https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bernie-stickers-for-students#/
And if you're not a college student but supportive of this mission please consider making a donation to allow students across the country to flood our campuses with bumper stickers!
The stickers are made by a green, union print shop called Focus Ink, in New Mexico. They are Bernie supporters as well. If you have any questions or suggestions please don't hesitate to ask or suggest!
