RETURNS: Only defective goods can be returned, within 5 days of receipt. PLEASE NOTE: Because all Blackbird Letterpress goods are printed by hand, products may vary slightly. The
impression you see in our paper goods will vary depending on the paper and type of relief image we use. A linocut leaves less impression than a photopolymer plate, for example. While we enjoy the texture that debossing creates, we will not exceed the ability of our press or compromise our type or print blocks to make a deeper impression than good printing demands. In everything we print, we strive to maintain high quality and strong design.
ECO COMMITMENT: We are committed to decreasing our footprint on the planet. We use low VOC inks, citrus solvents for clean-up, and recycled and tree-free, non-chlorine bleached papers.

* 19th amendment centennial * Celebrating 100 years since ratification 1920-2020
A2 FOLDED CARD • $2.75 In 1920, the US Constitution’s 19th Amendment was ratified— declaring no citizen could be denied the right to vote based on their sex. For more than 100 years, women’s suffrage supporters had fought for this right. However, the racially divided movement did not address the intersecting inequalities of race, class, and ethnicity. Intimidation, laws, fraud, and violence blocked women of color from voting. The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granted voting rights, but many states denied this right to indigenous women through the 1950s. Other women of color faced barriers until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As we acknowledge the movement’s flaws, we also celebrate all women who organized, marched, and risked their lives to bring the US closer to universal suffrage. Their efforts gave women the chance to politically, socially, culturally, and economically transform this country.
