Painting created c.midC20th in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital in Surrey, by an individual who was compelled to live there, whose identity is currently unknown to us. This image is from art therapist Edward Adamson’s lecture slides: the original is missing, presumed lost
Painting: head and shoulders of a white woman with curly brown shoulder length hair, in profile facing right. Inside her a second profile like an anatomical drawing, skull and some musculature drawn in, from the top of their shared head a curled horn or shoot emerges, the style is almost like a panel from a comic book

On June 17th, 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor. A gift from France, the copper colossus is just over 151 feet or 46 meters tall. #History #OTD
It was meant to mark the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the preservation of democracy – and the Union, itself – after ending slavery and emerging from the U.S. Civil War. The French named the statue “Liberty Enlightening the World” and they liked her so much, they built smaller replicas for themselves.A black-and-white photo of the Statue of Liberty's right hand holding the torch. The bottom of this section of the statue (anatomically, the forearm) is in a tent with men milling about around it. The men appear to be as tall as one of the statue's fingers is long.

Presented by France to the United States as a symbol of friendship and their alliance during the American Revolution, it was shipped in 350 individual pieces and packed in over 200 crates. Reassembled over the following year, the statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886, and stands for freedom, democracy, and hope. 

The statue was conceived by French political thinker Édouard de Laboulaye and designed by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.

We are proud to announce support for #LA #MutualAid groups serving the 180,000 people displaced by the #LAFires! Over the past week we have organized a regular aid route that will deliver one full truck each week to sustain the local response. Help us keep it running: distributeaid.org/la-fires
A flier explaining how Distribute Aid’s LA Fires response works.

Title: Fight the Fires, Know the Needs, Fill the Trucks

Distribute Aid is delivering a weekly shipment to LA mutual aid groups.  Here’s how it works:

1. You can collect aid in UT or any surrouding state.

2. Aid will be staged at the Salt Lake City aid hub.

3. Aid will be delivered to Los Angeles on a weekly semi-truck run.

Email [hello@distributeaid.org](mailto:hello@distributeaid.org) if you’d like to fundraise to send the next truck!

Distribute Aid is delivering a weekly shipment to LA mutual aid groups.

1. Collect Aid - please contact [donate-aid@distributeaid.org](mailto:donate-aid@distributeaid.org) to get a list of the latest needs and coordinate with us before starting your collection.

2. Shipment Staging - our partners, Lifting Hands International, are staging aid at their warehousing hub in Salt Lake City from the surrounding region to support the LA Fires. They can accept deliveries, and our logistics team has the capacity to pickup 12 pallets from one surrounding state each week.
3. Delivery & Distribution - The Distribute Aid logistics team is coordinating a weekly delivery of a full truck of 26 pallets from Salt Lake City to LA hubs each week (2x per week surge capacity). The aid is delivered to Community Solidarity Project’s hub in LA, where they and Mutual Aid Disaster Relief are able to resupply frontline grassroots organizations for the duration of the crisis.

‘No safe place’: People of Sudan ‘dying from neglect’
Eatizaz Yousif, herself displaced because of Sudan’s civil war, says there is “no safe place in Sudan” because fighting has spread through the entire country. Yousif says that the country’s capital, Khartoum, being the epicenter of fighting means a weakened and decentralized government. As a result, health and education services have completely collapsed and half of the country’s population is at risk of acute hunger, according to the World Food Programme.
