Over a contrasting black background, 3 green watering cans pour STW pillar-coloured hearts over 4 sprouting seedlings held up by 4 hands. A smiling yellow sun sits proudly between the watering cans. In the background, a rainbow has formed from one of the hands to the other. The poster reads: Start the Wave needs you! Can you help us water even more seeds of change? A black STW t-shirt is laid out, showing the front and back. The back of the t-shirt has a full back print showing a simple line drawing of a waterfall, flowing into the Progress Pride flag with the STW Logo through the middle. A shining sun arches over the waterfall, and two sprouting seeds grow on either side. The entire image is enclosed within a circle, and the phrase, ‘Let it Fall to Build From the Root Up’ wraps around. Below, it says www.startthewave.org #STWEquality #STWAntiOppression. Printed on the top left of the front of the t-shirt, the STW logo sits next to a sprouting seed with a shining sun arching over the top. A large tote bag lies next to the t-shirt, with the STW Butterfly logo across the middle. Below, another image shows that the bag has been signed inside by Dom P-C. The inscription reads, ‘Thank you for looking after our planet, Keep being you. Your actions matter!’ The caption next to it says, ‘Follow the links in our linktree to buy a STW bundle, or donate directly via our website www.startthewave.org A photograph shows Dom P-C, a non-binary human wearing a STW hoodie smiling gratefully and with hope at the camera. Below, their image reads, ‘Please watch our latest video for more information.’

An illustration of Audre Lorde, self-described “black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet”, sits next to the quote, “I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” Behind Audre, a rainbow in the seven colours that represent each Start the Wave pillar flows across the width of the page.
