30 Illustrations We Created To Encourage People To Make A Change

I am at a loss for words, my heart breaks for Ukraine. STOP THE WAR, STOP THE VIOLENCE AND STAND FOR PEACE.⁠

Who else agrees that Love is Love is more than a hashtag?

The richest 1% of Americans are responsible for 70% of all unpaid taxes. The wealthy and corporations are gaming the system, pointing the finger at the very people they’re stealing from.⁠
⁠
The wealthy criminalize the homeless, so they don’t have to house them. They criminalize drug addicts, so they don't have to face substance abuse as a public health problem. They criminalize the poor, so they don't have to address wealth inequality.⁠
⁠
The existence of billionaires is predicated on the exploitation of human labor and unsustainable environmental harm. Reducing the amount of money in circulation, destroying economies.⁠
⁠
And they will continue to do so until we have a wealth ceiling. A different world is possible.⁠

Children should be taught that who they are and who they love is valid. They shouldn’t have to hide the love inside them. All children deserve love and respect. All children deserve to be who they are.⁠
⁠
For some children, the Don’t Say Gay bill is a punishment. For others, it's a death sentence. The world is going backwards and I do not consent.⁠

Corporations are not people.⁠
⁠
Or rather, we are not corporations. Not us, anyway, who can’t afford space tourism amid a global pandemic. We can’t be corporations. We don’t spill millions worth of oil into the ocean. We don’t emit hundreds of tons of greenhouse gasses. And we sure as hell don’t have massive marketing budgets to tell the world “this is all your fault.”⁠
⁠
Corporations have treated the planet like an actual ashtray and turned it all on us. Their greenwashing campaigns and sustainable missions may free them of guilt (and give them huge tax incentives). But that all falls on us as we stress to recycle their toxic products and host river cleanups to minimize our tiny footprints.⁠
⁠
So what can we do? Well, it’s still on us. But it’s on us to hold corporations accountable. To vote. To make our voices heard. To support our communities. To redistribute wealth. To help our neighbors. To live simply. We can make change. But when it comes down to it, we shouldn't have to.

You are not a product. And neither is your sanity. No matter what the world tells you, you are not for sale.⁠
⁠
Capitalism has played a dirty trick. Conditioning us to believe that our value is what we make and not who we are. Your productivity is not your worth. Don't be fooled by hustle culture. Being overworked 24/7 is not a good look and it's not something that should be bragged about.⁠
⁠
Rest when needed and feel no guilt about it. Create a work-life balance that works for you. Work will always be there, but your health won't be.⁠

In 2021 the average woman still made only 82 cents to the average man's dollar. Taking away 18% is offensive, and it's more for women of color.

Stop insulting women and pass legislation to close the gender wage gap.

PSA - Remember with your heart that we live in a world with unreachable beauty standards.

You are a bit of an anarchist when you chose to be yourself, but man it is wonderful.

Daily addiction.

We have made great strides in the LBGTQ+ community, but we still have a long way to go.

I dream of a world where one day a boy can say he likes a boy, the same way a boy can say he likes a girl.

I hope to help create that future full of acceptance and a lot more love. Because honestly, it takes all of us to move in that direction, not just a few.

Trust science? Absolutely. Corporate America? Not so much. The CDC recently cut recommended quarantine time down to just 5 days for breakout covid cases—right after major corporations said “pretty please?” Now, the working class is in an inevitable catch 22: protect yourself from covid, or protect your paycheck. Can’t say we’re surprised.

"Life is short, though I keep this from my children.Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful."
 
"Good Bones" by Maggie Smith.
