When we’re not out on the road playing music, we’re hard at work on our Non-Profit group, Flobots.Org, which is focused on creating Street Teams across the country that are focused on bettering their community and the lives around them. We’re gearing up to have our first National Conference Dec. 30 – Jan. 1 -

Today we’ve also launched our Donation Incentive Packages, where you can not only donate to the non-profit, but get some cool exclusive gear in return, including our official flag bandanas, exclusive .org shirts and our limited edition posters and more.

All of our gear is screenprinted locally in Denver by IndyInk, and designed by artist D.J. Coffman (Flobot13) – For more information about our non-profit group or how you can get involed, head over to Flobots.Org now.
