F is for Friends Fight Fascism | Sweatshirt

A vintage storybook aesthetic with a message that doesn’t flinch.
This sweatshirt features a frog and a badger standing together in a quiet woodland scene — soft illustration, firm intention.

Text reads:

F is for Friends.
Find friends to fight fascism.

It looks gentle from a distance, but it’s doing real work.
Community is built through shared labor, shared learning, and shared resistance. This piece is for people who treat solidarity as infrastructure — educators, librarians, organizers, mutual-aid volunteers, neighbors building systems outside the systems.

Part of the Resistance ABCs Collection, where childhood visuals meet adult clarity.

About the Artwork

The illustration draws from mid-century children’s books, where animals often carried the moral weight humans avoided.

And the frog isn’t random. Frogs are natural activist symbols — from the classic peace frog to the now-iconic Portland protest frog appearing at marches, mutual-aid sites, and community actions. They signal resilience, disruption, and early warning when ecosystems are under threat. Paired with a badger — stubborn, grounded, unmovable — the duo becomes a perfect metaphor for collective resistance.

As with the rest of the Resistance ABCs Collection, this design uses childhood motifs as a framework for discussing solidarity, political education, and the real work of standing together.
