On Friday October 17th, the Barack On! Obamathon fundraiser was held at the Los Angeles D.I.Y. screenprinting shop Fresh Pressed. With pro-Obama designs contributed by local arists and designers for silk-screening of shirts and posters, bakers feeding those hungry for change with a sidewalk bake sale, and people of all ages coming out to support our effort with positivity and enthusiasm, what started out as a modest fundraiser quickly turned into a mini block party. The “fun” in fundraiser was definitely on display as both kids and adults Baracked the night away! (check photos of the event here: flickr.com/photos/sleazycompany/sets/72157608164286789/)
Designs created for the fundraiser are still available at Fresh Pressed. Proceeds go to the Obama campaign.
