Australians Bring Assange Home: Posters+billboards
Donation protected
Our 1000 giant #BringAssangeHome posters campaign went so well, it has now also funded mobile billboards on the streets of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Spreading awareness of Julian Assange's plight in busy city centre locations and providing an attention grabbing backdrop for events and actions to help #FreeAssange.
Over 1000 posters printed and pasted... and 11 days of billboard action so far. Reaching our goal will fund another 2-3 weeks of billboards on the streets and another poster run.
You can download your own posters to print here. There's also a billboard file which can be used to print banners.
Help Bring Julian Assange Home!
The original mission:
To print and paste up a thousand of these #BringAssangeHome giant (A0 size) posters in prominent locations in Australian cities during May 2019.
With every $500 raised, another 100 posters can go up.
We need to get printing and distributing right away to capitalise on the pre-election weeks. Saving Julian Assange should be an election issue.
Let's use the opportunity to highlight the plight of an Aussie hero, push our politicians to wake up on this issue and Bring Assange Home!
A $5 donation prints and pastes one poster. A $50 donation prints and puts up 10 giant posters.
TAKE ACTION

WHO'S DOING THIS?
I'm Australian/British graphic designer Somerset Bean and have been making free graphic design resources in support of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange for nearly 10 years now. I'm so grateful to all those all over the world who have organised printing of flyers, banners, posters and most recently the amazing Free Speech* (*except war crimes) van which has been touring the streets of London and Washington DC (see below).
WHERE'S THE MONEY GOING?
As I am currently in the UK the funds are being paid out to a long term supporter and campaigner for WikiLeaks and Julian Assange in Australia who I have also known personally for years. From there the first $5500 will go straight to our printer and distributor of giant posters. You will see photos and reports from the poster campaign. All funds raised over this amount will be going to a billboard campaign. We are currently discussing the best value for money for the most impact, and will report about this as soon as we have something finalised. The design work is freely offered so ALL funds will be going to the printing and distributing of #BringAssangeHome materials.
Our collective efforts have already featured prominently online and offline around the world for a decade, proclaiming boldly: exposing crimes should not be a crime!
This is my first time launching a large scale poster campaign and I hope you'll join in and we can make an impact in the lead up to the Australian elections. Sponsor 1 or 10 or 100 (or 1000!) posters - donate now!
