What do you do when the letter-writing campaign to your Congressman just ain't working? What is life after A&F and Details Magazine controversy? Come to this workshop to find out how entrepreneur & graphic artist Ryan Suda of Blacklava.net transformed his political activism in from of… t-shirt designs?!
