​

• Affordable and accessible higher education for all

• Education as a right, not a privilege

• Social justice, equity, and student power

• The strength of our collective voice

• Students standing together across campuses and communities

​

• Designs must be appropriate for a statewide public event and may not include offensive, discriminatory, hateful, profane, or otherwise inappropriate language or imagery.

• Designs should be limited to front and back print areas only; no sleeve or additional print placements.

• A design that reads clearly on a T-shirt and works in 1–3 colors for printing.

• Text and design should be bold and readable from a distance. The design should stand out in a crowd. 

• T-shirt color is to be determined. Designs should be adaptable to multiple shirt colors.
