L is for Liberation: a Radicalphabet!

The L is for Liberation Collective is seeking artists, designers, radicals, and schemers to collaborate with us in creating illustrations for L is for Liberation: A Radicalphabet. 

 The language, images, and concepts we use to teach our children provide not only the building blocks for literacy, but also communicate ideas about what is note-worthy and powerful in the world around them.  We seek to create an accessible, reproducible alphabet poster that parents, educators, m/nannies, and other grown ups can use as a springboard for conversations with the little ones in their lives about ideas of community, resistance, power, and difference.  While the acts of parenting, caring for, and teaching little ones are often undervalued and depoliticized, we believe they are practices rich with opportunities for orienting young people toward social justice.  We imagine the radicalphabet poster as a supportive tool in the struggle to position parenting and care work as central to movement building.
