Change The Ref: #GuacIsBack

As of October 25th, 2018, #GuacIsBack. A statue of teen Joaquin 'Guac' Oliver, one of the victims from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting earlier this year, will appear for the first time in New York City’s Times Square for his first mission: protesting 3D guns. With 3D printers, getting a gun can be as easy as downloading it. Using the same tool that prints these firearms, the statue is a life-sized printed replica of Joaquin holding a flower – a touching nod to the bouquet he was holding as he died which were a Valentine’s Day gift for his girlfriend. The statue will be wearing a pin, which can be scanned from any smartphone and leads to a site collecting petition signatures to demand regulation on 3D guns. The activation also encourages visitors to sign up to vote ahead of the November 6th midterm elections and fight to get rid of over 30 pieces of legislation against gun control. Agency: Alma, Miami
