Whistles are being widely deployed as a community defense mechanism.
We’ve distributed over a hundred whistles so far, along with fliers and zines from HandsOff NYC, Pilsen Arts Community House, and Megan Piontkowski.
Sample Products
We selected a small style of whistle that could be easily attached to a keychain, in hopes that people would to be more likely to carry them every time they left the house.
These are manufactured in bulk in China, and are available via Amazon, Alibaba, and similar outlets under many different sellers’ names, often described as “Emergency Whistle with Keychain.”
The price per piece varies a lot, depending on the volume and the seller, from 6 for $6 (Amazon B0CYZWCWC7), to 50 for $10 (Amazon B0DZBQ1JKZ), to 200 for $31 (Amazon B0F3D8NGTC).
I’ve gotten three different packages so far, each from a different seller, but the actual whistles seem to be completely identical, so I think these are all coming out of the same couple of factories and just being resold under different brand names — whichever one you choose should be fine.
