He designed the framework, put out a call to students, and encouraged people to come by The Press and make some art. Cohick says about 15 students, \u201csome who had never been here before,\u201d and an assortment of staff, faculty, and local alumni visited The Press, determined the phrases that would go along with \u201cThe Work Continues\u201d concept, and helped print. <span class=\"s2\">\u201cWe gave away 700 in the first three days,\u201d he says, and, to date, they\u2019ve printed more than 1,900 copies of the posters that spread messages such as \u201cStay Kind,\u201d \u201cStay Strong,\u201d and \u201cStay Fierce.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The project didn\u2019t stay confined to CC though. Not only did the posters show up at Women\u2019s Marches across the country on Jan. 21 (including one CC parent who marched with hers in Washington, D.C.), but other presses also took the concept and made their own iterations. During Block 5, more than 100 posters, protest signs, publications, and other ephemera \u201cdeployed in the real world\u201d and from as far away as New Zealand, are hanging in the \u201cAmplify &amp; Multiply\u201d exhibition in Coburn Gallery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You may remove this special <i>Bulletin<\/i> version of \u201cThe Work Continues\u201d poster.
