SignStorm San Jose
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Leah Jay, the creator of SignStorm San Jose. I'm raising funds to help cover insurance and permit fees for the City of San Jose Office of Cultural Affairs, so that I can legally do the project in the Circle of Palms plaza. It is a financial hardship for me to take this on myself, so if you have an extra $10 - $30 to contribute, you can help me make this happen.
What is SignStorm?
"You walk down the street in downtown, heading by the Fairmont and the San Jose Museum of Art. Suddenly, you notice protest signs covering the concrete like a layer of snow. Silently, without a human presence, they still proclaim loudly the hurt, the fear, the anger, the defiance, and the hope to the sky. The language of cardboard and marker is captured in photography and in the media - forever."
We hope to gather approximately 200 signs (flats only) from protests and rallies, and will be accepting new signage as well at pickup points around town. Happening between 1 and 4 pm on #NotMyPresident's day weekend (2/19/2017, with rain-out dates of 2/20, 2/21). This public art installation is associated with Not My President's Day 2017, a Bad Hombres/Nasty Women production.
How much are the fees? What are they for?
1. Insurance (required by City) - $85
2. Permit Fees (required by City ) - $275
3. Website (contains a press release and publicly available documents, required) - $100
Total = $460
*any amount over $460 will be added to help offset required marketing, advertising and travel costs - plus offset the 5% GoFundMe cut.
Your donation would have a greater impact before January 15, 2017, so I have an opportunity to file and pay all fees in time.
For assisting me in helping to give the citizens of San Jose a way to speak out without saying a word - Thank you!
