A refugee tent embroidered with the names of the 418 Palestinian villages.
I made a graphic for Women’s Studies Student Organization at my college that spotlights Dr. Angela Davis, Black, queer, pro-working class abolitionist and activist – and I’m pretty proud of it so I wanted to share :). For the rest of summer, our organization is doing weekly action items to support the Black Lives Matter movement – and this week’s action item is to listen to Dr. Angela Davis, read her works, access her speeches, and educate yourself.
Follow @wssouga on IG for our other action items and resources to support the Black Lives Matter movement.
