This is terrific. Saturday was my birthday, and I celebrated it by making ICE OUT origami butterflies with an Indivisible art build for NO KINGS in Oakland. It was fun, energizing, and therapeutic. I'm a ceramic artist who is beyond disgusted with the fascist Trump regime. It was empowering to make art with people who feel similarly. The butterflies will be attached to sticks and given out to marchers. They will become part of a larger installation to be constructed at the end of the march. I'll be marching on the 28th, but in a different state. It is wonderful to feel that part of me will still be part of NO KINGS here in Oakland.
Susan, what a lovely idea. The sense of community we feel when making art with others works against the negativity we face each day as we confront yet another assault on democracy. Great to know your effort at home will continue as you protest elsewhere.
