We asked Illustrator, Libby VanderPloeg:
What do you want in 2018 & how will you make it happen?–
Vote. Get out and vote on every issue that matters to you, every chance you get.
Art Action Day is January 20th. It’s an opportunity to speak up and commit to action in 2018. We’re asking you to post about your vision for 2018, and—more importantly—how you’re committing to making that future a reality. You can sketch, photograph, write—whatever!Remember to tag your post #ArtActionDay and #WhatWillYouDoor submit your post to action.tumblr.com/submit.
thankful for all the ladies with whom I’ve marched, huddled, and strategized this past year💪🏼💪🏿💪🏻💪🏾 I would have imploded without you💥💥
Also big thank you to Washington Post and AD Lizzie Hart for today’s “Moving Forward” feature of artists reflecting on the 1-yr anniversary of the Women’s March and the legacy of the Women’s Movement in words and images. So much beautiful, inspired art in this article! http://goo.gl/GJ8n3g 🌈❤️⚡
“The women’s movement is why I’m able to get an education, to vote, to make decisions about my body and to choose the path in life that best suits my ambitions. I’m so grateful for all the women whose hope motivated them to imagine and fight for a fairer, more inclusive future.”
Sure, a lot of us get pretty excited about this time of year, but sometimes the holiday season can be hard for those we love 💙. It can be hard to know how to help or what to say in times of hardship, but simple, kind gestures and acknowledgements of solidarity can go along way ❤️💪.
Together with Optionb, Sheryl Sandberg’s movement (and amazing book!) about building resilience, I created a series of animated tips that talk about ways to look out for one another during the holidays. Big hugs to AD Jenna Bott for being so wonderful to work with on this project! Check out the optionb site for more ways to help and to send adorable e-cards by the brilliant Emily McDowell 😊🙌!
