Let's be real: this is a Corita Kent fan account. We unabashedly love her incredible protest art.

Which brings us to the question we're itching to ask you:

Who are your favorite protest artists? What is the activist art that fires up your heart and who are the artists behind it? (Any time period, anywhere in the world.)

We want to hear about the activist art in your heart!

Serigraph (silk screen print) by Corita Kent entitled "for emergency use soft shoulder" from 1966. The top 2/3 shows bold blue, red and yellow letters on a white background. The bottom 1/3 has white text over a red background. The text is a joyous riot of rightside-up and upside-down letters at different angles. It say: "Get with the action. Wine that Rejoyces Man's Heart. Powerful Enough To Make a Different. For Emergency Use Soft Shoulder." Artwork via the Corita Center.

Fedi originated from activist movement, and activist causes must be front and center, while offering natural DEI-rich spaces.

#CALM culture embeds #activism to form Constructive activism-led movements. Where lone fedi activists go beyond social media influencing tactics as primary tools. Stop wielding Golden Hammers with many unintended side-effects. CALM helps engage people in strategic activism where actions feed into a process of solution building and a healthy collab #culture is fostered.

Inspire civic engagement in your classroom and community with Resisterhood! Today we're highlighting Dr. Jean Gearon, one of the subjects of our new documentary Resisterhood.

Jean is the great-granddaughter of one of the original Suffragists in the United States. Jean founded a grassroots political group that's involved in local and state politics, as well as the fight to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) — the same battle Jean’s great-grandmother fought more than 100 years ago.

Teach about grassroots organizing and activism, the Equal Rights Amendment, gender equity and civic engagement with Resisterhood! For grades 10-12, higher ed and adult learning. It's great for campus screenings and community education!
