Button brigade
There’s been a lot of requests for the CafePress Inauguration button – this is the free button that we handed out throughout D.C. and on the Mall during the Inauguration festivities.
We exhausted our physical supply, so we’ve put it up in a CafePress shop at Base Price so that those of you who want to remember this day can do so with a groovy, 3.5″ button.
While we’re still consolidating all the pictures and such we took, if you’re interested in seeing a snapshot of the Inauguration crowds we do have a Button Brigade flickr album that gives you a sampling of all the nice, celebrating people we met over our 3 days in D.C. while we handed out t-shirts and buttons.
It was an amazing thing to see not only the sheer number of people out there, but the number of parents who’d brought their kids to D.C. to take part in this historic Inauguration.
The crowds in D.C. were huge, jubilant, actively celebrating and incredibly diverse – much like the CafePress community itself.
We feel very fortunate to have been able to make so many new friends in D.C., and so glad that we were able to provide a free memento to those who braved the cold, the crowds and the prices to get on out there. This Inauguration was all about being accessible for We the People, and from what we saw that intention was realized.
So for those of you who weren’t able to be there or just didn’t find us among the millions o’ people, we hope that this button provides you with a nice reminder of that day.
