NatGat Shirts: Screen Printing as Fundraising/OutReach
How about a fundraising campaign -with Phases and a calendar?
We have good fundraising language in one if the emails for direct asks, there's a fiscal sponsor and a donate button for online donations
Maybe schedule two hashtag driven "pledge drives" where we give a T-shirt as a "thank you gift"?

Keep it simple, stick with known practices.
We make a design, create a screen ($25 Bucks), buy ink (30-60 bucks) & offer to do live screen printing on patches & shirts people bring to Nat Gat.
Least risk of loosing money in my OWS experience.

@justin2 That works for me; we need to ensure that we have a design and that someone will take responsibility for making it happen. Should we make a formal budget proposal, or wait until we have both of the above? Nicholas (Larsen?) offered to make a logo on another discussion; I do not remember his name here to call out.

Swag for NG3 - stenciled and ready for use.
The background is clear. You can either print them on your printers

Send them to the t-shirt printers
Or make a stencil and spray paint them in responsible legal places. ;-)

I am going to remove my full recommendation for spread shirt. I noticed an issue, until I look into it further and receive feedback from the site and other persons of interest, I cannot fully recommend them.
I am not pulling them from my shelves as of yet, but it is possible I will.

I didn't handle the shirts, but think it was considered a hassle because people didn't want to have to pay for them. Steve C ended up giving a lot of them away
