I got some lovely buttons and stickers in the mail today from @rlmartstudio.bsky.social Beautifully timed because I also finished reading Let This Radicalize You after an embarrassingly long time. This is all the energy I wanted to tap into on a day like today (25th anniversary of 9/11).

A set of 7 buttons and 2 stickers, all political.

Black Lives Matter
Complacent = Complicit
Don't Mourn, Organize
If You Can Breathe, You Can Shout
If You Wish to Break the Chains, You Will Need to Break the Rules
Nothing About Us Without Us is For Us
When We Lose Our Fear, They Lose Their Power
Justice Is For Everyone - Immigrant Rights Now
The Labor Movement

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It Is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” ~Assata Shakur Link to art here: www.rlmartstudio.com/product/our-...

A vertical poster illustrated in black ink and watercolor. In the background a diverse crowd marches forward away from the viewer, melding into a forest of leaves. In the forground, a dark-skinned hand thrusts upward gripping a white compass disc, pointed north, adorned with an intricate blue star. Between the cardinal directions in the compass, the following quote is written: "It is out duty to fight for our freedom - it is our duty to win - we must love each other and support each other - we have nothing to lose but our chains." On the compass edge is the attribution: Assata Shakur.

It's back to school season! Just a reminder to teachers and educators, we always offer 15% off using code "teacher" at checkout. Website here: rlmartstudio.com

A brown skinned, androgynous person with short black hair and a yellow short sleeve shirt is writing the words "We Can Do it!" on a blue chalkboard, turning their head to face the viewer, in a pose reminiscent of "Rosie the Riveter". An apple, erase and other pieces of chalk are at the bottom of the poster, with the words "Defend Public Education." The alphabet is at top, as if in a young kids classroom.
Text above and below this poster reads "Defend Public Education. Ricardo Levins Morales".

We are so happy to be announcing the launch of our 2027 Liberation Calendar presale! Calendars are being printed, orders will ship when we receive them later this month! Direct link here: www.rlmartstudio.com/product/2027...

Brightly colored calendar pages with the main page featuring the cover of the 2027 Ricardo Levins Morales Liberation Calendar. Black text in front of a white border reads "2027 Liberation Calendar Launch Presale".

If we had to recommend just one of RLM's hundreds of posters for a classroom wall, this would be it. "Century of Struggle", a 24x36" epic, is comprised of over 700 illustrations representing 20th century movements and changemakers and comes with its own study guide zine.

An enormous poster - meant to be displayed two feet tall by three feet wide - that truly defies complete alt text - you could write an encyclopedia about this thing. Illustrations and cut-and-paste images of people comprise a mosaic of a large tree, surrounded at the base by crowds of people, each of its hundreds of leaves (and bark, and roots) comprised of still more illustrations of people's struggles -- protest signs, scenes from historical events, liberatory actions, and much more. A red and black border contains, at bottom, the title Century of Struggle, with the subtitle, A Cen-Tree of People's Movements in the USA. Some of the most prominent features include large depictions of Leonard Peltier, Mother Jones, Lucy Parsons, and a punk rocker in one corner; a soaring eagle flying amongst falling leaf clusters, comprised of the names of significant activist organizations and publications; and smoke from the 1992 Rodney King uprising billowing off the top of the image, visually mirrored by smoke rising from a student protester burning their Vietnam War draft card, at the base of the trunk opposite. Over 600 events/struggles are represented in total, starting with the 1900s (e.g., suffragette movement) at bottom, and ending with the 1990s (including the black bloc and 1999 WTO protests) at the top.

Teachers and educators: what do you wish you could put on your classroom walls? (Our posters are on sale this week - but we want to hear your desires!)

Ricardo Levins Morales Art Studio @rlmartstudio.bsky.social · last mo.

It's Black August, the annual commemoration of Black freedom struggles. Educators: can your Black students see people like them on the walls of your class? Ricardo Levins Morales' 50+ years of art in solidarity with racial justice movements can help.

A graphic showing two poster illustrations. On the left, above the colorfully handwritten caption "The ancestors did not sacrifice for you to be a slave", a black and white watercolor and ink collection of people in various African American and traditional African styles look down upon three dark-skinned people illustrated in color, all sharing a grip on a traditional spear pointing to the right, appearing to be parents sharing a moment with an adolescent child. The poster on the right is a dark brown woodcut head-and-shoulders portrait of Angela Davis, looking straight ahead and wearing her traditional large afro.
