These "They Live"-style anti-fascist 3-D reticular #stickers are tremendous! The creator says that they're using proceeds "to fund our street theater and donate the rest to organizations saving lives", including #NorCalResist, #MiddleEastChildrensAlliance, #RootsOfSolidarity, and, this year, #DoctorsWithoutBorders. $8 inclusive for the set.
