“Hope Rising.” Keep hope alive! 2011, Monotype/chine collé/collage, 18”x24” #ArtAdventCalendar #monotypemixedmedia #monotype #birdsinart #hope #artshare #nonviolence #wagingnonviolence #collage #originalart #birds 🪶#womenarestrong #changetheworld #trumpetvine #patterns
“Hope Rising” by Anita Heckman. A back view of a strong woman’s head and outstretched arms. Red and yellow trumpet vine flowers and leaves emerge from the woman's shoulder and are entwined around her arms and to her sides. She has brownish skin with gold swirls, and black braided hair. An open fan emerges from her head and hair. The fan floats in front of her. Its thirteen folds have intricate flower patterns of many hues. A bright blue and green hummingbird with outstretched wings and tail is at the top center. It flies upward toward open flowers and the sky. The top background is a road map with a large light green infinity symbol (like the movement of a hummingbird’s wings). The bottom background is a nautical map with large round compasses facing upward. Colors and patterns are everywhere. Created in 2011 in solidarity with the Arab Spring pro-democracy nonviolent resistance movements in the Middle East. Massive numbers of people rose up nonviolently to demand freedom, human rights, women’s rights and an end to repressive regimes. Monotype/chine collé/collage, 18”x24”

The organization Waging Nonviolence emailed me today--praiding and promoting one of my favorite authors, Rebecca Solnit. It turns out she has a website called Meditations in an Emergency.

I love this--

"People tend to go along with majorities. ... Spreading messages of hope can make people more hopeful. And hope is the cure to nihilism, and nihilism is the fuel of authoritarianism."

Fathers Dan and Phil Berrigan, who were also brothers, led a group of 9 antiwar activists to break into a selective service office, steal the draft cards, and set them on fire with homemade napalm. And yes, activism like this still goes on today, whether or not you, personally, are aware of it.

May Day organizers framed more than 5,000 nationwide actions as a “structure test” for future strike activity, economic disruption, and coordinated anti-authoritarian resistance campaigns. #Trump #MayDay #NoKings #50501 #Indivisible #Labor #Strike #CivilResistance #WagingNonviolence
May Day was even more important than you think
The mass mobilization on May Day was a show of power — and a dress rehearsal of the tactics it takes to win against an authoritarian regime.

The US was founded on boycotts of British imports. As we mark the country’s 250th anniversary, that spirit is alive and well.

And so many more movements you can join. You are not alone.
Plain text against an off-white background reads: Reminder: Social media isn't a void. Violent rhetoric can lead to real-world consequences—from flagged accounts to a knock-and-talk, and others you won't see. You don't have to agree with the system to remember it exists. There are better tools for change. Please use them. [Bolded] In most cases, you don't have to fight back to fight. #DoNotObeylnAdvance #MaliciousCompliance #JoinTheResistance People have plans. Join them. Organize. Don't go it alone. And no—no one killed the #lawyers. Talk to them. Know the consequences before you act.
