Signs of Hope

Action is the Antidote to Anxiety.

Focus on what we want. ~ Jessica Craven

Everything I make, whether for a gallery, a public park, or the street, is based in the reality that we are all one. Greedy people have always tried to divide populations by stealing resources and money then blaming marginalized groups as a way of dividing people. By holding on to the reality that we are connected we can save ourselves from this tactic.

 I have made art and led art builds for marches and actions since 2003. The feeling of community while creating the art and marching is a wonderful thing, the act of doing those two things generates connection, courage, hope and defends our democracy. I hope you'll be inspired by this work, make your own signs (please use any ideas you find here!) and go to many marches and actions. Social proof —the idea of showing (not just saying) that you are defending our freedoms and democracy is the best way to “fabulously fight fascism” as strategist Anat Shenker Osorio says. If you can’t protest, see below for how you can DO SOMETHING.
