At Paper Press Punch, we believe that print has power—power to resist, to unite, and to spark change. From underground zines to revolutionary posters, printed materials have long been a force for activism, amplifying voices that might otherwise go unheard. In times of political unrest and social transformation, print fosters community by creating tangible connections, spreading ideas beyond digital noise, and preserving movements in physical form. Whether you’re rallying for justice, sharing knowledge, or building solidarity, print is a tool of empowerment.

That’s why we offer 1 and 2 color risograph printed or full color/b&w laser printed posters, flyers, and folded (double sided) pamphlets for free or on a donation basis for grassroots organizers, activists, and community groups. Whether you need bold visuals for a protest, informative pamphlets for mutual aid efforts, or a call to action that demands attention, we want to help bring your message to print. We believe that financial barriers shouldn’t stand in the way of spreading ideas, so if you’re working to make a difference, let’s collaborate to get your words and images into the hands of those who need them most.

While we would love to offer free printing for every request, we are a small print shop and have to balance our commitment to community with long-term sustainability. To keep this program going long term, we focus our resources on projects connected to activism, organizing, and community action. Because of this, we prioritize printing materials that share information, support mutual aid, mobilize people, or help movements organize. Requests for materials related to general events, promotions, or activities that fall outside this focus may not be eligible for this program.

This program is a “you design, we print” format. All artwork submitted must be of your own design. We will not print designs without the permission of the designer.
