stick it to the man

Because we deserve to be wherever we are. This sticker is a message towards critical mass. Black girls taking over.

Because we can be cute while pointing out the constant violence of a racist, sexist, classist, homophobic, gender-normative world.

We are only at risk because this oppressive system thinks we're dangerous. So risk everything! Where you at?

Was this built with slave labor? Does this depend on sweatshop labor. Were these resources garnered during a colonial takeover? What isn't stolen?

If you want to shake up the status quo by sticking these labels in choice places all over your community dowload them here

the pressed for knowledge workshop!

So far I've helped community groups, academic conferences, anarchists of color, student leaders and random strangers brought together for all kinds of reasons create about a dozen brilliant sponataneous publications. This workshop agenda is designed to facilitate groups to create spontaneous publications in one hour! Email brokenbeautifulpress@gmail.com and I'll email you the full agenda. Ask about the other workshops in the "impulsive activism" series and check out impulsiveacts.blogspot.com for sample agendas.

the broken broadside

Proceeds from the broadside go to the International Black Youth Summit (www.blacksummit.org). Email brokenbeautifulpress@gmail.com and offer a donation and I'll get back at you soon!

found: an interactive love story

Found is a letter-based interactive story about brown girls in love. Send me an email and I'll send you the game. Then you can post your responses to the blog! Yes. I love you too.

need: poetry as activism

This is an interactive poetry publication inspired by Audre Lorde's resistance poem "Need: A Chorale for Black Woman Voices". Lorde wrote this poem after 12 black women were murdered within 4 months in Boston. Along with the publication you'll get a toolkit for a set of workshops that will empower you to create productive dialogue about important issues that your community is silent about.
