Micah Bazant is an artist and activist ("artivist"[1]). Some of their most well-known works include the "Refugees Are Welcome Here" poster, created after President Donald Trump signed an executive order limiting immigration in 2017[2], and the "Protect Kids Not Guns" poster seen at 2018 March for Our Lives protests.[3]
Micah also started the Trans Life and Liberation Art Series project, a project illustrating trans people of color. Micah cites Marsha P. Johnson, Claude Cahun, Marcel Moore, and the BlackLivesMatter movement as some of their inspirations.[4]
Quotes
| « | No movement is perfectly intersectional, and every one is ravaged with internal white supremacy, ableism, misogyny, etc. Most of us have had our hearts shattered at least once by unrealistic expectations of social justice movements. But I deeply, spiritually, and politically believe all people can change. And I believe we need to mobilize billions more people. The only way to do that is to keep working together and pushing each other to do better. In some ways, that’s what defines a movement — working together strategically to build power, even though we aren’t all on the exact same page.[3] | » |
