Stickers are in! We got big stickers made- 4 x6 inches- the size of most postcards. Ask me for one when you see me—in person :D #dignidadrebelde #vivalamujer (at Dignidad Rebelde Headquarters)

WORK connects us all. LABOR connects us all

Celebrate May Day by celebrating workers, demanding citizenship for all 11 million and an end to the deportations.

I developed this piece for the AFL-CIO. Yesterday, Richard Trumpka, AFL-CIO President said, “We know that there will be a roadmap to citizenship soon, but not soon enough for hundreds of thousands of hard working people and immigrant communities. We call on the administration to cease deportations of people who will soon be eligible for a long overdue roadmap to citizenship so the legislative process can proceed without prolonging the crisis. That is the sensible and humane thing to do. When a war is about to end, it makes sense to reach a cease-fire rather than extend the suffering needlessly.”

After a long hiatus My printing rhythm is back to a daily practice. Got the first layer down on this print. The purple is a little different than I originally planned but it is what I had ready to go. #justseeds #dignidadrebelde #melaniecervantes #tallercocina #kitchenprinting (at Dignidad Rebelde Headquarters)
