GoodWerk Buttons

Customer Story: GoodWerk Use Buttons, Stickers To Reach Voters

Say hello to GoodWerk, working to do good. Okay—that’s not their official slogan, but it could be with the steps they are taking to get the younger generation out and voting. GoodWerk is a Chicago-based PAC (Political Action Committee) with a mission of empowering young people in the political process.

Since it’s been proven that the best way to reach new voters has been person-to-person interactions, GoodWerk created interactive Action Packs. The packs include colorful buttons, an enamel pin, collectible stickers, party horns (to celebrate on election night) and too-good-to-toss posters. Each Action Pack contains enough goodies to share with your community.

“I'm used to designing things for the web, not physical products” George mentioned. “So during the whole process I leaned a lot on Busy Beaver for help and advice.” George and his team recognized that fun swag makes talking to your friends about voting a little bit easier.

Buttons have embodied a people’s history of American culture and politics and are important historical markers. We are so proud to be able to carry on that tradition!

The History of Protest Buttons

In the ever changing efforts to fight for human rights, animal rights, just plain rights, buttons have always been hanging off of activists trying to make changes. They help move the needle and gather support. You literally stand behind your beliefs, making them a meaningful conversation starter.
