I’ve learned so much from Ricardo Levins Morales, and he says in this video we made: We don’t just need our ancestors, they need us. Something to look to, to fight for, a reason to keep walking.

Just coincidentally thinking about this print by Ricardo Levins Morales
A print with color locked faces that look like wood cutting style maybe? With black and brown faces and hands holding hands, and the words "nothing about us without us is for us."

This is a touchstone for me for 2025. Cultivating joy and community.

Artwork by Ricardo Levins Morales
Text on artwork reads: Laughter is the sound of hope. Hope is the seed of power. Power is the combined force of a multitude of voices joined together… that began as a mere whisper, lost in the immense darkness and the ferocious old and only kept alive by small, improbable notes of laughter. Artwork, by Ricardo Levins Morales, has earth-toned, stylized human faces with mouths open, and in the center is a blue human form, arms up and feet spread in a triumphant stance.

I feel like Johnny Appleseed, dropping links to everyone sharing Ricardo Levins Morales amazing Labor posters with no mention of his name or website.

If you support workers, support artists too—by buying their work!

In his book’s preface, Ricardo Levins Morales writes, “The answers we seek, for how to navigate in an uncertain world, are not found in the past, but their roots are. Roots are what support new growth, and the future is always a synthesis of ancient roots and new growth.”

Malvina Reynolds, 1900-1978.

Some encouragement from the incomparable @rlmartstudio.bsky.social and Audre Lorde.

“Washing one’s hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.”

 Paulo Freire

A two-color print in a woodcut style, with black illustration and red test in the middle. The illustration depicts a large skyscraper in the back left, with a poor village in front and a mountain with farmed terraces and vegetation in the back right. The red block letters say, "Washing ones hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral. -Paulo Freire"

“When we lose our fear, they lose their power” mask by @rlmartstudio.bsky.social was the perfect outer layer to protect my N95 from the rain while protesting at the detention center in Philly this morning.
Selfie of a white woman with rain-splattered glasses wearing a face mask with Ricardo Levins Morales’ distinctive art showing a crowd of marchers & the words “when we lose our fear they lose their power.”

Right. Mutual aid needs on the ground in Minneapolis:

Our kids are out of school. Many families are too afraid to leave their homes.

Who’s delivering groceries today? Any donations needed?

Many years ago, I wrote a short blog post after people were celebrating charges against Freddie Gray's killers.

In the end, all 6 were either acquitted or had their charges dropped.
