Art is Resistance


Art is Resistance

Here is one thing the Government wants you to forget.
YOU HAVE A VOICE
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO USE IT?

FOR TRUTH
Art is witness. When the government wiretaps and spies on its own
people, people become afraid to speak the truth.
SPEAK THE TRUTH

FOR UNITY
The artist shows what everyone is thinking. The government wants
people to feel isolated and alone. A stencil in a public place says,
YOU ARE NOT ALONE

FOR POWER
The government wants you to think you are powerless to act.
YOU CAN ACT

This doesn’t mean it’s easy. This doesn’t mean no one died. But
governments cannot survive shame. A government can jail people,
deny them votes and power, but when a million people no longer
believe in that government, it will tremble. That million will breed
another million and some of them will be judges and soldiers and
cops. A house divided cannot stand.

GOVERNMENT REQUIRES THE CONSENT
OF THE GOVERNED
If the stop believing in this administration,
it WILL fall.
