Tomorrow is the last day of this holiday toy drive for Chicago families impacted by ICE. 41 of the 60 kids who were registered have had a present purchased. Organizers are hoping every child and family can receive a gift. Let's help them reach their goal! Venmo: KHPWtoydrive

I don't remember what specifically prompted me to create this in Dec 2023, but I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to give a print of it to @thrasherxy.bsky.social last fall & it continues to hold true ❤️

A blurry red and green background. White boxy letters read: "You will never regret speaking up for Palestine."

A dark blue sky has clouds at the bottom of the digital drawing. In white text, it reads: “R/evolution means protecting the people. The plants. The animals. The air. The water. R/evolution means saving this planet. R/evolution is love. -Assata Shakur”

i've been returning to this question from @eveewing.bsky.social as we see increased attacks against education & teachers ( & as extensively traced in her new book!) 💙

$A blue and purple background has digital drawings and text. In white it reads, “when you have that moment of finding out about a devastating piece of history and you realize that you never heard about it before, my question is always: who is invested in your not knowing?” -Eve L. Ewing. At the top, there is a drawing of the US fracturing into pieces with shackles, a grave, forceps, and a test tube. At the bottom, there is a stack of books, a university building, and a police badge.$

migrating some of my art to bsky - always grounded by this question from @prisonculture.bsky.social 💛

A sketchbook is open on a table with pens and a paintbrush. The open page has a dark yellow background. "When something can't be fixed the then the question is what can we build instead?" - Mariame Kaba is written in black and white across the page. A police car and the Supreme Court are both drawn in black ink with flames coming out of them at the top of the page, and blossoming flowers and plants are drawn in black and white ink at the bottom.

A digital drawing with a beige background. Red bubble letters read: “mask 4 mask” with cursive text under that says: “because community care is HOT!” Beneath is a drawing of two blobs, one orange and one purple, with long legs and masks holding hands.

My mom is quoted in this piece! 🥰 While some of our alderpeople want to give in to fear and demonize new arrivals, I'm proud of my mom and her fellow volunteers who work to make "sanctuary city" and "welcoming city" a reality. www.wbez.org/immigration/...

As Trump’s deportation threats loom, Chicago’s immigrant communities prepare emergency plans

The plans include phone trees, Know Your Rights flyers, role-playing ICE encounters and passports for children.

we - all people on earth, our oppressions and our liberation, our pasts and our futures - are all connected. in this new year, let us continue to fight against interconnected systems of oppressions and move closer to our collective liberation.

A digital drawing of a collection of vines, leaves, and flowers against a black background. The vines are green and the flowers are dark red, blue, and mustard yellow with white line drawings over theme. All of the vines, flowers, and leaves are connected to each other. Scattered along the vines are white handwritten capital letters reading WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.

sending love and solidarity to Palestine and to all Palestinians and Muslims around the world who are feeling the effects of this hatred. Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸 💛

Julie M Creates (they/them) @juliemcreates.bsky.social · 17/10/2023

the dehumanizing rhetoric that politicians & journalists are employing against Palestinians is horrific. we must resist efforts to normalize mass killing & disregard the preciousness of each life. dehumanization & genocidal violence go hand in hand, & we must reject it all.

A white line drawing of Palestine colored green with Gaza in white. It is surrounded by red, green, and black flowers with white details. Above and below the drawings, white text reads: "where life is precious, LIFE IS PRECIOUS. -Ruth Wilson Gilmore"

“Is the whole world supposed to stop?” Yes. The world should absolutely stop as our government funds the annihilation of an entire people. The world should stop when mothers bury the children they carried. The world should stop.

i've been working on this poster for the fair since august, and the connections between our movements for liberation have helped ground me as we witness state-sanctioned violence around the world. i hope it might spark ideas from others. i'm excited to come together next month.

A drawing of a world map with smaller scenes around it against a purple background;. In the upper left, white text: "OUR FIGHT IS ONE: DISMANTLING US IMPERIALISM, TEACHING FOR SOLIDARITY." Five scenes are scattered in circles around the map with posters and lines connected back to the map. In a circle, a group of figures protest with "Black Lives Matter" & "Don't Strangle Zambia" signs. In another circle, an olive tree with signs: "You are on stolen land," "Free Palestine," "Land Back," & "Whatungarongaro te tangata toitū te whenua." Floating signs that read, "No one is illegal," "demilitarize our schools," & "fund communities, not war." A circle of palm trees in front of Mauna Kea is surrounded by signs: "US Bases out now!!," "Fanohge," "Protect Mauna Kea," "Road closed due to desecration," & "No war" with Uchinaaguchi text. Last circle is a forest with signs: "Forest defense is self defense," "Water is Life," "Welcome to Weelaunee," & "Amazônia é do povo." Lines connect them all.
