California Don't Poke The Bear Flag Sticker & Magnet

Strange Gang

$14

Don’t poke the bear. That’s what it says, and that’s exactly what it means. We redrew the California flag bear so it’s not just wandering anymore, it’s roaring. A warning for authoritarians, bootlickers, and crypto-fascists everywhere. A rallying point for the rest of us. Comes in both sticker and magnet formats so you can slap it on your fridge, your bike, your laptop, or the nearest surface that needs a growl. Perfect gift for the fed-up, the fiercely local, and the ones who’ve had enough. A little piece of West Coast resistance you can hold in your hand.

Fight With Purpose

Automatic donations to related charities

What's your deal, anyway?

Fair ask. We’ve been creating anti-fascist and progressive art for over 25 years. Chicago made us, but now we’re full-time nomads making art and products that espouse our beliefs in human rights and social justice. We design things for the communities we come from and the ones we fight alongside, with a portion of sales donated to causes we support. We’re stubborn, loud, and allergic to neutrality. No fascists. No excuses.

I don't see the style I want.

Most of our items are available in a wide range of sizes. Additionally, most items are available in various styles. If you see a T-shirt design you like and want it on a hoodie, check the hoodies section or use the search bar. You can also customize the style and color of most designs in the custom section of our website.

Feel free to contact us if you can't find what you're looking for, and we'll do our best to make it happen.

What causes do you give to?

We donate $1 of each item sold to non-profits and organizations supporting progressive, humanitarian, and justice-oriented causes around the world. All donations are automatically calculated and transferred to our charity partner every month to ensure compliance and timely processing.

What is your return policy?

The Roar Is Real

We’re not sorry for being loud. Not sorry for caring too much, asking too many questions, or refusing to keep our heads down. We watched what happened while everyone said “calm down.” Watched rights stripped. Watched cops kill without consequence. Watched landlords hoard and billionaires orbit the stratosphere.

And we stayed. Organizing, resisting, grieving, refusing.

The California bear used to shuffle along quietly on that state flag. Not anymore. We gave it teeth. A voice. A full-throated roar aimed straight at the heart of every petty tyrant, every spineless moderate who tut-tuts while standing on scorched earth.

This sticker is for every activist shoulder-tapped by cops at a protest. Every queer kid clocking hate in the suburbs. Every unhoused person swept off Venice Beach so tourists could eat brunch in peace. It’s anti-fascist. Anti-MAGA. Anti-ICE. Anti-authoritarian. It doesn’t beg. It warns.

Strange Gang made this for the ones who live in California but never felt safe here. For the ones who keep showing up. The mutual aid crews in East Oakland. The agitators in Boyle Heights. The zine makers, the bike brigades, the street medics.

Don’t poke the bear isn’t just a threat. It’s a truth. It’s what happens when people are pushed too far. When we’re done asking. When the only option left is to defend what we love. Together, teeth bared, feet planted, ungovernable.

Put it somewhere they’ll see it. On a clipboard, a street pole, a bathroom mirror in a coffee shop that charges sixteen bucks for toast. Wherever power thinks it’s safe.

Because it's not.
