I created this Wake Up! piece originally in 2017 as an urgent plea for all of us to activate our moral compasses and speak up. For those who have been silent, it is time to open our eyes, our minds, and speak out for human rights and human dignity.
This year, I was asked to update this piece to support Wake Up, America!, a grassroots movement of educators, lawyers, artists, and concerned citizens who seek to warn against the rising threat of authoritarianism and reclaim the word “woke” from distortion and restore its historic meaning as a patriotic call to resistance and action: to stay alert, informed, and defend democracy.
Please take a moment to read about this campaign, download the art, share it and show your support of the mission. Educate, Stay Alert and Defend Democracy!
