DANSA Although DANSA does plan and organize Direct Action events in San Antonio, we hope to be a resource for all social justice organizations.

The Direct Action Network of San Antonio has been created by a coalition of concerned LGBT activists to empower and enrich the lives of LGBT people by holding governments and businesses accountable for discriminatory policies and practices. If you or your group are planning or would like to plan a Direct Action event, please let us know so that we can help promote and support you in your efforts.

šŸ“¢ WE ARE MAKING THE CALL TO OUR FOLLOWERS TO UNFOLLOW PinkNews DUE TO THE BLATANT TRANSPHOBIA OF CEO BENJAMIN COHEN.

šŸ“¢ It's disheartening to see PinkNews CEO Benjamin Cohen refusing to campaign on trans issues, dismissing them as "incredibly contentious" and distancing the platform from being a "charity" for the trans community. šŸ˜”

It appears he's part of a troubling trend among some gay men who, after achieving marriage equality, feel they've fought their last social justice battle.

šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļøšŸ’—If you believe in full equality for everyone, it's time to unfollow PinkNews.

If Kamala is the candidate, y’all might as well have kept Biden.
There is nothing progressive/leftist about voting for a woman who had a mother arrested because her daughter missed too much school due to her sickle cell anemia.
Someone who fought to keep people in jail solely for the cheap/free labor.
Someone who denied transgender inmates gender-affirming care.
And someone who has always been on the side of apartheid ā€œisraelā€ and is currently funding/arming/supporting the active genocide of Palestinians.

You won’t find me walking over the mountains of corpses, dismembered body parts, and dead Palestinian children to vote for Kamala Harris.

Attemping to stay grounded in my art practice with this qoute by Toni Morrison:
"This isĀ preciselyĀ the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear"

One if my unwavering beliefs is that as artists, that is our duty and responsibility to share our gifts, skills, creativity, visionary capabilites, in however way that may look like for us, that we use this ability as chanellers and conveyors ofĀ  spirit, medicina, messages and truth to be in service to the collective. Using that creative fire for the destruction of old worlds and the creation of new ones. ā¤ļøā€šŸ”„

Created this from a request made aboutĀ wanting to see locallly specific artwork from Burque. I created this poster as a response to show our solidarity and ackowledge the interconnectedness of the struggle for liberation for land, water, humanity and all living beings across indigenous lands. From Burque, Tiwa Pueblo Lands in solidarity with P@lest!ne!

I'll be sharing more about my intentions with this piece in making prints and raising funds on another post, so keep eye out for that and for more arte coming through. āœŠšŸ¼

Keep sharing, speaking out, attending protests, calling your reps, creating, moving, expressing, truth telling, fighting, loving...find your lane in this struggle and keep showing up.

Since colonizers landed on Turtle Island they have brought violence to Indigenous land and women.

May 5th is Missing and Murdered Indigenous Womxn, Girls and Two-Spirit Awareness Day.

Let us remember all our relatives we lost since 1492 and seek justice for the many stories about our women being stolen that have been white washed and romanticized.

ā€œPocahontasā€ is not your Disney princess, her real name is Amonute and she is our stolen sister.

Ron has done nothing but continually betray the progressive values he got elected on.

There’s no surprise this pro-cop & anti-homeless mayor is against this proposition and using these random points to justify siding with the police union.

Mayor Ron Nirenberg said Tuesday he opposes the Justice Charter, even though he's previously spoken in favor of cite-and-release policies.
