Resources for You to Use
Please Note: I have no affiliation with any of these web sites and am not endorsing any products sold on any web site. These links are just provided for people interested in getting these materials and sometimes you can't get things for free.
There are also free activist "toolkits" you can download in PDF files on many of the above anti-war organizations' web sites, which may be primarily flyers but some may have graphics which could be used with transfer paper to make your own t-shirt. Making your own may be cheaper than buying the shirts sold on most of these web sites. Some of these web sites do provide free graphics.
Subvertise.org is a site where people upload graphics of subverted images, and they have a section of anti-war graphics, many of which have no copyright, so you can download and use them on web sites. They're about to go down for lack of money.
The Donnelly/Colt Progressive Resources catalogue has many buttons, t-shirts, postcards, and posters you can buy online, many of which have anti-war messages. There is a larger selection here than any other such web site I have seen with some good quotes and slogans.
Auntie Fashions has progressive and political t-shirts, some of which have an anti-war theme.
Boondoggles calls itself "online shopping for the discerning revolutionary"
