protest signs

tracy holding a protest sign that says 'Not today SprAyTAN' - @tracy.creating

Hello – please note, all links will open in new tabs, thanks. Signs are available below for download, but first some history…

The picture above is of me holding the Not Today SprAyTAN sign.

I posted a group of printed signs, just laying flat on my dinning room table, to my Instagram on June 15, 2025. Really didn’t get much response. Then, again for “No Kings” on October 18, 2025, my husband took the picture above and I posted it to Instagram. This response was bit different. George Takei shared it to his Facebook as a favorite sign from the day. John Pavlovitz shared it on X/Twitter, and I think The Other 98% was the first big account to share it.

It has also been used by Dash Dog, a beautiful Golden Retriever whose hooman added a Trump cartoon and pitchfork to the sign. And this sign won a Protest Sign Tourney “best in show” (pun intended!) competition!

I had this page set to ‘private’ for a while because I need a job and was thinking that maybe my being ‘political’ might be hurting my chances. But here’s the thing: if you don’t want me to work for you because of my politics, well chances are pretty good that I don’t want to work for you because of your politics. I think I will sleep better at night knowing I am being fully honest about who I am and what I think is right and decent. So, this page is now ‘public’ again.

I will add more signs over time, and I am also thinking of adding some artwork here, with political messages, so please check back from time to time.

Not going to lie, I really thought maybe I could make some money with these signs, as t-shirts. Looked at a lot of different print on demand (POD) options for getting shirts printed – the reviews of questionable quality on both the print as well as the t-shirts – and the huge margin those POD companies take, gave me pause. So, then I thought maybe I would print them myself, if there was enough interest.

I actually had mock-ups of the t-shirts here on this page. But, after sleeping on it (and let’s be honest – tossing and turning – because what is sleep anymore?), I again changed my mind. I really don’t want to make money because of the bullsh*t happening in this country. The thought makes me kinda ill. Don’t get me wrong, I would like to make some money, but I would like to make that money because of my art (which you can see if you click on that link – link will open in a new tab), not because we as a country are in crisis.

I hope to provide other sign designs and artwork here from time-to-time. If you have design ideas that you would like to see here, please reach me on IG, Threads, or Bluesky – links below, or via the contact info on the contact me page of this site. If you would like to support me, follow me on the socials and visit my studio art website and maybe purchase some art.

If you download and print a sign for the next protest (‘cuz you know there will be more!) please take a pic while you are out there and send it to me – I’d love to see it!

Even more signs to choose from below. Many of these are not original thoughts, I’m just trying to make your next protest just a tiny bit easier.

Happy protesting – be safe!

I don’t have an ‘X’ account and never will. I kinda hate using Meta, knowing that my eyeballs are making any pennies for Zuck – yuck! At some point I might set up a Buy Me a Coffee account, but for now these are completely free and I hope you use them!
