An Invocation for Organizers
2 3/8 in x 4 1/4 in
Black ink on white 135# printmaking paper
comes w/a black coin envelope for safekeeping
The print reads:
May I be fearless without being reckless.
May I be open-hearted while being discerning.
May I be principled and also generous.
And when it is the hardest to hold these practices,
may my comrades still hold me.
___________________________________________
I wanted to create something that you could keep in your wallet or pocket or fanny pack & pull it out whenever you need it. Organizing is hard work, full of contradictions and heartbreak, and also full of poignant surprises and hard-fought wins. I hope this can be a reminder to practice our ideals daily, and to hold our comrades when practicing it is the most difficult. Created with love for door-knockers, base-builders, political educators, and everyone else who is out there organizing new folks in to this ever-evolving movement.
