Today we're 100 days out from the Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial Day of Remembrance, commemorating the lives of Elias Clayton, Elmer Jackson, and Isaac McGhie, who were brutally murdered 100 years ago in the streets of Duluth at 11pm on June 15, 1920. We will be at the @CJMMDuluth Day of Remembrance on June 15th, 2020, will you? Sign up for the CJM mailing list at cjm2020.org/dor to get updates about showing up for the Day of Remembrance on June 15, 2020. #WeRememberCJM #cjm2020

Our creative director created a new tryptic that will be featured in the WTF show @prove_gallery. The show opening is March 6.
The series entitled “Eff It: A Series of Intersectional Reminders” is a tryptic of hand-lettered illustrations printed on canvas. They are 8X8 inches each and are available for purchase at the art exhibition. Terri explains that “My artistic work recognizes the intersectional experiences Blackness, womxnhood, and queerness. The contrast of the hand lettered script style and the brash messages speak to the systemic hypocrisy of oppressive systems claiming to value those identities.”

We're excited to be a part of this year's @DuluthNAACP 2020 MLK events. This year, we created the design centered around Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s "Give Us the Ballot and We Will Transform the South." In his speech, Dr. King speaks to the importance of political power and the right to vote. He states that the right to vote is a sacred right. A right that should be defended and aggressively upheld.
We hope that if you are in the area, that you attend today's events; . It's just one way to support the many efforts of anti-racism happening in our community. #MLK2020

Tonight our Duluth City Council has the opportunity to ban conversion therapy.
If you know anything about us, we are obviously in favor of banning such a horrible practice. We need to shift policies, practices, and culture so that Queer folks are safe and valued. Help make history by supporting this effort.
There is a rally at 5:30PM at City Hall followed by the council meeting at 7:00PM.

Just go fucking vote!
Voting is one way to wield political power. It's an important step in choosing who represents us and how our community progresses.

Some may not like our vivid language. Well, we don't like when people pass policies that harm our community. So vote.

Throwback to last November. A photo from our shoot for Pollen's Match the Hive. We had fun posing for these photos at our favorite spot, The Snooty Fox Tea Shop. We were also quite happy to support Pollen's fundraising efforts! 📸: Nemuel Nyangaresi

As a team, we want to find ways to support the causes we care about while providing opportunities for others to do the same. Through graphic design, and other forms of art, we aim to inspire people to engage in dialogue and activism. Blackbird Revolt aspires to break the social & political barriers that keep us caged. Our designs go beyond media and apparel, we find creative solutions to help challenge the way people think about the world.
