It’s time folks for some #SidewalkChalk civil disobedience. Grab some chalk, go outside with your kids, and draw, write, sketch, vent, play hopscotch. This shit has gone too far. #ChalkCrime

LumenARRT! will be there tomorrow to stand in solidarity with all those detained by ICE at the Cumberland County Jail.

Where: Cumberland County Jail at the corner of St. John and Congress Streets in Portland, Maine

When: Friday August 15th at 7:00pm

We arrive to hold space for the humanity of care, dignity, support, family, and solidarity that ICE so violently attempts to strip from its detainees. With our presence, our voices, our light, and our hearts, we hope that those inside can know that the community outside is thinking about them, is working for them, and fighting the brutality they are subject to.

Please join us with your heart and voice to help center our moral courage in this fragile moment. Register here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/vigil-for-those-in-cages

A bright red sculpture of 47 has appeared at a busy intersection in Manhattan, seemingly climbing out of a manhole.

The life-size, red-coloured piece, titled "Donald," was secretly installed by French street artist James Colomina at the corner of East 42nd Street & 2nd Avenue.
