# The Fuck Fascism Art Initiative The Fuck Fascism Art Initiative calls on artist of all mediums to create anti-ICE, anti-War, and anti-Authoritarian art to aid in the public distribution of resistance materials and media. It supports artists, activists, and content creators with a wealth of educational materials, rhetorical strategies, and artistic direction. It also incentivizes the creation and distribution of resistance media by outlining an easy system to financially benefit from your activism. ___ **The three goals of the Initiative**: 1. Flood communities and platforms with art and media designed to educate, spread awareness, and drive independent action. 2. Enable activists to distribute resistance materials with accessible and persuasive art in physical formats, or online. 3. Financially incentivize activists, artists, and content creators to distribute resistance media both online and in their local communities. ___ ###### Navigation Menu - [[The Fuck Fascism Art Initiative]] - [[Brief]] - [[Tone]] - [[Style]] - [[Symbolism]] - [[Prompts]] ___ ### **To Participate:** All you need to do is upload art on any platform with a few specific hashtags. The #FFAIupload hashtag indicates that the public is free to use your art in their distribution of resistance materials and information. It does **NOT** indicate that people may use or sell your art for commercial purposes. **You should indicate what form of accreditation you'd like when you upload**. The intention is that individual activists will use your art to distribute resistance materials and information in their local communities. To ensure that artist anonymity is not unintentionally compromised, distributors are instructed to only include the links and accreditation specified by the artist. The included brief, prompts, and style cues can be followed closely, adapted, or ignored entirely. **Hashtags:** - To share activist art and promote the initiative: #FuckFascism-ArtInitiative #datastrike - If you're uploading art or content for activists to use: #FFAIupload #FuckFascism-ArtInitiative #datastrike - If the art is in a print-ready format (at least pixel density): #printready #FFAIupload #FuckFascism-ArtInitiative #datastrike ___ ### **How to benefit (optional):** The Fuck Fascism Art Initiative is designed to work with the strategies outlined by the [[The National Data Strike]], an economic resistance methodology targeted directly at Tech Oligarchs, Digital Surveillance, and the AI Industry. Neither the Initiative or the Strike are organized activist movements. They're simply collections of knowledge and information that enable individual activists to make a difference on their own initiative. One pillar of the strategy is to target Data Brokers through [[Data Suppression|Data-Suppression Services]]. In addition to many individual benefits, [[Data Suppression|Data-Suppression Services]] also provide massive economic leverage against Data Brokers, deprive them of their product, and create technical overhead. **The goal is to strain the Commercial-State Surveillance Pipeline as much as possible.** [[Data Suppression|Data-Suppression Services]] also give referral links that usually [[How to Personally Benefit|pay a direct, 30% commission]] for their first year of service when people sign-up with your link, so, in addition to personal safety and targeted economic opposition, data suppression services offer a viable avenue for you to financially benefit from your activism against digital surveillance and techno-fascist cabals. [Optery's referral program](https://www.optery.com/referral-program/) doesn't require you to sign-up with their service to earn commission, meaning that no matter what kind of art or activism you're doing, you can make a bit of extra cash by grabbing a link and encouraging people to participate in the data strike and economically target the digital-surveillance industry. Also, **Proton's referral program** gives you and your friend 2 free months of service, which is a great way to maintain a VPN at no cost. ### For Creators: Just grab a [Optery referral link](https://www.optery.com/referral-program/) (or a link from any other service) and include it when you make or share art for literally any reason. Optery only costs $4 a month, which is a fair price for an economic impact and a relatively important personal protection service. It also spreads the wealth to artists and activists quite effectively, and doesn't require you to sign up to receive payment through a referral link. **--The Fuck Fascism Art Initiative is not affiliated with Optery, any company, organization, or individual, even those that may be promoting this cause. It is a collection of information designed to educate, nothing more.--**
