Defend Our Streets Patch

Our first Colab with the amazing Local Menace Apparel 

When politicians start swinging budget cuts at PBS, they’re not just going after some nameless bureaucracy—they’re taking aim at the childhoods of millions. This pin is a loud, unsubtle reminder that every time the government threatens to defund public broadcasting, beloved shows like Sesame Street are the first on the chopping block.

Featuring a fiery, rebellious take on a certain blue monster, this design flips the script: if the government wants to “defund” the things that make communities smarter, kinder, and more informed, then the monsters get to fight back.

Wear it to make a point: public broadcasting matters. Education matters. Access matters. And if they want to take Sesame Street away, they’re gonna have to get through all of us.
