We weave a colorful, do-it-yourself aesthetic and vibrant imagery into all of our organizing work as a
way to promote joy and healing in the face of oppression, to amplify our messages, and reach new
audiences and supporters.
Here are some of the ways that we celebrate our creativity and culture:
Design and print our own banners, silkscreened
posters and T-shirts,
and carry out other art-for-action projects
Host our fourth annual Day of the Dead celebration,
converting
Adelante’s community space into a giant altar to honor our ancestors and victims of state violence
in the U.S. and Latin America
Host spring and fall Kermesses (community festivals)
in Adelante’s
space
Host cultural events such as poetry nights, film
screenings, and
international food exchanges at least every two months
