CIVIC VOID — DROP 001
1967: The Year the People Showed Up
This first Civic Void merch drop commemorates 60 years since May 2, 1967—the day members of the Black Panther Party exercised their constitutional rights at the California State Capitol to protest the Mulford Act.
It was a moment that exposed a hard truth:
rights are often only questioned once marginalized communities begin to use them.
This shirt features original artwork by Eddie Roque, created specifically for Civic Void—an image rooted in historical memory and present-day urgency. It’s not nostalgia. It’s a reminder.
Why this drop matters now
In 1967, the Second Amendment was used as political speech—a public assertion that Black and Brown communities deserved protection, dignity, and visibility under the law. The response? The state moved swiftly to restrict those rights.
Sixty years later, we’re watching history echo.
As immigration enforcement expands and communities are destabilized by fear, surveillance, and displacement, the question returns—not about violence, but about who gets to feel safe and who the law actually serves.
Civic Void exists in that tension:
between law and justice
between history and the present
between silence and participation
This drop isn’t about promoting harm.
It’s about remembering resistance, questioning power, and reclaiming civic space through art.
What you’re wearing
Original, unreleased Eddie Roque artwork
Limited first-edition Civic Void release
Designed to spark conversation—not slogans
Art as memory. Clothing as statement.
Wear it if you believe:
History is not settled
Art is political
Communities have the right to exist without terror
Civic engagement doesn’t end at the ballot box
This is Drop 001.
The beginning of Civic Void as a wearable archive.
