redistribution process
what is redistribution?
Redistribution is similar to donating but is different in a very important way. Redistribution is "the distribution of something in a different way, typically to achieve greater social equality." - Oxford Languages. The word and act of redistribution focuses on contribution that comes from a place of social justice and works to create equity and provide reparations. In comparison, donations, while sometimes having similar motivations, is often considered non-mandatory gifting while redistribution is a necessary act about continuously combating injustice and changing the systems that create the injustice in the first place.
I redistribute 20% of all prices from everything including stickers, tees, commissions, wholesale orders, screen printing jobs, workshops, and markets.

Everytown starts with you, and it starts in your neighborhood.

former groups
Brown Sisters Speak - No longer exists so switched to Open Path Collective.
Go Fund Me for Club Q - No longer exists but added ACLU and Everytown for Gun Safety. 2022 Q4 redistribution was made through Bread and Roses Law channels as I could not initially find whether the fund was still available and knew that Bread and Roses Law is working with survivors to ensure they received 100% of the money donated.
redistribution receipts
At the end of every year quarter (Jan-March, Apr-Jun, July-Sept, Oct-Dec), I take the price of each print, sticker, wholesale order, commission, etc. sold and redistribute 20% of the price. Some products go to certain groups but those that do not are split between all of the groups.
Redistribution receipts can be found below or on my Instagram (@_empath_art_) under a story highlight labelled " 20% RECEIPTS".
Please let me know if you would like me to show or do this differently!
