During President Trumps’s first 100 days many of his backers and constituents have become dissatisfied with his administration’s choices. The cost of essential goods have escalated, hundreds of federal workers have been fired, U.S. citizens including children have been deported, legal residents have been detained for using the First Amendment right of freedom of speech and some even deported.
But most important while hate and division have surged, so has the resistance against his cruel and humane policies.
President Lincoln stated in his address at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on November 19, 1863, “Under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Many of us forget this when we select a president: we, the people, are electing someone to ensure they prioritize the benefits of our community rather than their gain and agenda. This is where we need to look back and remind this new administration that they are here for us and are obligated to run things with the people’s input.
We aim to partner with our readers and communities to build connections and provide tools for empowerment. Let’s unite our efforts and raise our voices against mass deportation, hatred, discrimination, and division. Your contributions matter, so if you believe this platform can benefit you and help your community, please don’t hesitate to contact us and share how we can assist in amplifying and spreading information to foster greater awareness and unity.
Through the power of art, our fight will translate, and our message will be spread. We need stories filled with vulnerability, photographs that speak for themselves, and artwork that inspires us to go out and participate in this movement for freedom, justice, and love for all. Community and collaboration are the most effective ways to resist and remain authentic. Therefore, we are reminding you that this platform is available for you.
