Independent Research Encouraged

We have provided a few resources to the right, but we invite you to do your own research. Ultimately, we would like for each poster to have a list of resources (and lesson plans!) to help local educators use them in their classrooms. If you do independent research, we would be grateful if you share it with us to add to the site.

Want some design ideas and inspiration?

Check out the Celebrate People's History series of posters. It was the inspiration for this contest. #Occuprint has a huge collection of interesting posters from the worldwide Occupy movement.
