Right now, so many of us here in the United States and across the world are sad, heartbroken, angry, scared, worried, and so many other emotions. I know I am, especially worrying for my children. It’s easy to get lost in the sea of what is and what might come to be. Now, more than ever, it’s important that we stick together and keep shining our light. Let’s mobilize together to fight the good fight. For our children. For our planet. For our friends and family. For our communities.
Originally this November, I was going to hold a holiday sale on my art. But, I’ve decided instead to hold a donation sale. For every sale I receive on my art and art products, both online or in-person during the whole month of November, I will donate 30% of the entire sale. The three organizations I’ve chosen for this sale represent areas that are going to need our help in the coming times. These organizations are:
How to Purchase and Donate:
When you go to check out online, use the “Comments” section at the end of your order to type in which of these three organizations you’d like me to donate to. If nothing is indicated, I’ll donate some to all three. I will total up and make all donations after the month of November, once all sales have come in.
Here Are Some Products I Recommend:
- “The World Needs Your Light” matted art print (in 2 sizes)
- “We Dissent” 4×6″ vinyl sticker
- “Eat the Patriarchy” art print
- “Eat the Patriarchy” vinyl bumper sticker
- “Your Are Loved” art print
- “Yoga Frogs” 11×17″ art poster
- “Yoga Frogs” sticker sheet
- “Being Peace” art print
**If there is something you’ve seen me have before that’s not on my website, or there’s an original you’d like that’s not currently listed, please let me know! I’m happy to work with you to get you what you want.**
I wish I could donate more than just 30%. But, part of caring for others, is also caring for myself and my family. This is my livelihood and as a small business artist, it’s hard to keep things afloat. I’m doing what I can.
Though, I recognize there are so many more places that can also use the help, I chose to focus on these three for this moment. I’m sure I will be holding other donation sales in the future. I also encourage you to donate direct to these or any other organizations dedicated to helping the environment, fighting climate change, helping marginalized communities, disability rights, and fighting for bodily autonomy and women’s rights. There is such much to fight for. And we are all in this fight together. Let’s shine our light together and march forward.
More About The Organizations We’re Donating To:
The Trevor Project
The Trevor Project is a leading organization in suicide prevention and crisis intervention for LGBTQ+ young people. They provide 24/7 crisis help and information. During these trying times, queer youth are negatively impacted more than most. Your donation will help support providing counseling, peer support, crisis hotlines, and educating allies and families of LGBTQ+ young people.
Earth Justice
Earth Justice is an impactful legal organization fighting for the rights of our planet. They provide top-tier legal representation for many clients fighting for land protections, clean water, wild spaces, and more. I believe they will help make a big impact for fighting climate change, pollution, and protecting vulnerable land in this country. Your donation will help support their lawyers who fight every day for the Earth.
National Women’s Law Center
The National Women’s Law Center has spent more than 50 years fighting for gender rights around the country, with special focus on women of color, LGBTQ+ communities, and low income women and families. A donation to NWLC will support advocacy for marginalized communities, legal cases for abortion rights, fighting sex discrimination in the workplace and beyond, and advocating for bodily autonomy.
Please, leave a comment to let me know of other international, national, regional, or local organizations that you believe are worth supporting. And if you donated directly, comment and let me know!
