Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is selling merchandise bearing her "Stay home. Save lives" slogan to benefit coronavirus relief funds.
The two items for sale are stickers and a T-shirt bearing the same image. The logo was designed by Chicago artist Mike Noren, the website says.
It features a cartoon drawing of Lightfoot - similar to the photo that inspired countless memes - standing by the skyline and above a Chicago flag-inspired block print of "Stay home. Save lives."
The gray T-shirt is available for $30, while a three-pack of the stickers is listed for $8. Shoppers have the opportunity to make an additional contribution, with the site saying all net proceeds will be donated to "COVID relief funds."
The merchandise appears to be a continuation of the memes - showing Lightfoot photo-shopped into various spots watching over the city - that first began popping up across social media in March as she placed restrictions on public spaces to discourage people from gathering.

Those memes delighted many Chicago residents - including Lightfoot herself, who later released humorous public service announcements building on them, and has praised them as a way to bring people together.

"I think that this is a really difficult time and people are afraid, stress levels are high and like in any difficult time I think we've gotta have a sense of balance and humor is a big part of it," Lightfoot said in March. "So I've actually enjoyed them."
"Despite the dire circumstances, we can also see the lighter side of life, what makes us a vibrant and interesting and creative community," she continued. "So I love them."
