"It changes the #power dynamic in the room..." — Senator Jennifer McEwen (District 08)

Keep changing the power dynamic, beloveds!

t/y #MUUSJA
typed on a light yellow ombre background over an aqua blue ripple graphic "It changes the power dynamic in the room. It changes the power dynamic within our caucus, in our discussions, just to have you come. And so all of those letters you're writing, emails, calls, showing up, asking for meetings, demanding meetings — all of that really, really matters." — Senator Jennifer McEwen (District 08)

"Culture shapes the way people perceive reality, who they believe they are, and what they think is possible. If we leave culture in the hands of authoritarians, we cede the most powerful tool for shaping society. By investing in cultural work...no one is erased." -Scot Nakagawa

"Is faith asleep? Let's wake it." - BEAH RiCHARDS

LOVE IS VAST @ #StudioBE
Painted in blue paint on a yellow background with the blue-black face of an elder with a mustache in profile facing the words: Today is ours, Let's live it. And LOVE is strong, let's give it. A song can help, let's sing it. And Peace is dear, let's bring it. The Past is gone, don't rue it. Our work IS here, let's do it. The world is wrong, let's right it. The Battle is hard, let's fight it. The road is rough, let's clear it. The future VAST, don't fear it. IS faith asleep? Let's wake it. Because today is ours, Let's take it. - [image of a crown] BEAH RiCHARDS
