Bee the Change Salt Lake DSA Shirt

Utah is known as the Beehive State, a symbol originally meant to represent “industry.” The Bee the Change Salt Lake DSA Activist Shirt takes that symbol and gives it a powerful new meaning. Instead of just representing labor for labor’s sake, the bee here represents the collective power of the working class. It is a visual pun with a purpose, combining the famous call to “be the change you wish to see” with the local identity of Salt Lake City. It signals that real change comes not from the queen, but from the workers uniting to build a better hive for everyone.

When you are canvassing a neighborhood or standing in a picket line, your message needs to be legible. We print this design on the Gildan Heavy Cotton tee, a fabric chosen specifically for its ability to support clear text output. The smooth, consistent weave of the 5.3 oz cotton ensures that the slogan and the graphic are printed with sharp edges and high contrast. Whether you are up close or across the street, the pun and the politics are unmistakable. It is a durable, comfortable shirt that lets you wear your local pride and your political values on the same chest.
