Go High Signs
Protest posters made by hand, built to reach, and rooted in the ethics that guide all our work
Go High Signs is an in-house Stoneroller project launched by our founder, Libby Clarke, in 2016. It began in a moment of political grief and personal clarity—when the rights of LGBTQIA+ families were under threat and words felt hard to find. Libby lost her voice from stress. So she picked up a pen.
What followed was a daily practice of hand-lettering signs of protest, solidarity, and survival. Go High Signs is still going—still showing up in marches, classrooms, pulpits, and news stories. It’s a project born out of resistance, but built for community.
Using Design to Hold the Line
The lettering is fast, deliberate, and public-facing. The words are chosen for resonance. These signs don’t just express—they connect. They serve as wayfinders for the disheartened, the furious, the faithful, and the afraid.
They say: You’re not alone. Keep going.
Teaching the Craft of Public Witness
We’ve taught clergy, students, parents, and activists how to make signs that don’t just blend in—they carry. This isn't gallery art. This is design meant to move through the world with urgency, humility, and care.
A Direct Line to Stoneroller’s Core Values
- Design is ethical. It reveals who you stand with.
- Design is public. It can be used to build trust—or erode it.
- Design is a tool. When done right, it serves mission, not ego.
This project continues to shape how we design for justice, faith, and community—and how we show up when the stakes are high.
