TO BE CLEAR - WE SUPPORT GUERRILLA BILL POSTING AS A FORM OF ART ADVOCACY AND CULTURAL EXPRESSION, NOT THE COMPANIES THAT CLAIM TO EMBRACE THIS BUT THEN LIE ABOUT PERMISSION. WE BELIEVE IN ADVERTISEMENT RESISTANCE THAT HONORS TRUE ARTISTIC INTEGRITY.
No upcoming events.
LEARN ABOUT THE DECEPTION THAT IS "MANAGED SITES"
BRANDS ARE BEING LIED TO AS ADVERTISEMENT RESISTANCE GROWS, AND BOTH CULTURAL EXPRESSION AND BRANDS ARE PAYING THE PRICE FOR IT. Art advocacy is essential in this landscape, as it highlights the need for authentic connections between brands and their audiences.

Submit Threats
Current Campaign
Street Defense Workshop
Did you receive an email from an OOH company threatening fines or legal action? Remember, without an OAC number or permit, they have no grounds for such threats. In the spirit of art advocacy and cultural expression, we encourage you to submit the email or letter to us. Simply redact any information you don’t wish to share, and we will stand up against this advertisement resistance on your behalf!

CULTURE VULTURES ARE TRYING TO KILL REAL WILDPOSTING
Real Wildposting is a culture, with mostly artists hitting the street with your brand. Save the culture and destroy companies that offer managed sites, or dedicated sites. Any site without a permit or OAC number attached to it, is just a canvas for wildposting, and not enforceable by these frauds.
