January - Ain’t No Power Like The Power Of The People!

May - Share The Road

Relieve traffic congestion. Reduce use of oil. Reduce air pollution. Fight obesity. This is the future if more people ride their bikes to work. Karen Kerney's collage inspires us to embrace the new-old bicycle, which gets us where we want to go in more ways than one.

June - Fagbug

When Erin Davies found the words "fag" and "u r gay" spray-painted on her VW bug, she transformed the assault into a journey of courage and solidarity. With the words remaining on the car, she took a 58-day trip around the US to connect to people on both side of the homophobia line.

July - Rising Tide: No Compromise!

Abby Singer’s photograph of the 2008 action that shut down construction of a south Florida power plant captures the commitment and determination of activists intent on promoting truly clean, renewable energy in response to the climate crisis.

August - Oppose Military Recruitment

David Hanks’ photograph captures the re-designed storefront of the Oakland, CA military “career center”, shut down by citizens in 2005. Don’t the recruiting centers in your city need similar re-design?!

September - The Rhizome Collective

This colorized linocut, created jointly by Beth Ferguson and Juan Martinez, celebrates the community and social justice at the core of the Educational Center for Urban Sustainability in Austin, TX.

October - Indigenous Women

These revealing portraits of indigenous women are drawn from Janet Essley’s 12-portrait series Oil/Resist. The figures are testament to the leadership roles women have taken in the struggles of indigenous peoples fighting for their lands and ways of life.

November - Make It New

Jennifer Marsh’s International Fiber Collaborative project solicited fiber panels from around the world representative of our extreme dependence on oil. Over 3,400 fabric panels were combined to transform an abandoned gas station in Syracuse, NY into a marvelous neighborhood spectacle.

December - Another World Is Now

Jennifer Hewitson’s glorious scratchboard speaks powerfully of the faith that undergirds all activism: that by moving ahead with confidence and a determined hope, we can indeed realize our dreams of a more just and peaceful world.
