We need a progressive, bold Left.

Who the fcuk says “fully exonerated” but the guy with 3500 lawsuits who never admits guilt.

Know their names and their stories.

If mainstream media won’t share their stories, we will.

Begun in 1974 and originally painted over five summers, Sparc founder Judy Baca’s ½ mile long masterpiece running along Coldwater Canyon Ave employed a diverse group of 400 youth and their families, working with a team of scholars and artists—including Isabel Castro, Yreina Cervantez, Judith Hernandez, Olga Munoz, Patssi Valdez, Margaret Garcia, Christina Schlesinger, Judy Chicago, and Gary Tokumoto. While many of our monuments glamorize the past, Baca’s landmark, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, pays tribute to working people of California while also acknowledging a checkered history of injustices toward its women and minorities. The detail above tells the tale of Guatemalan immigrant Luisa Moreno, a labor movement activist who convened the first national Latino civil rights assembly in 1939.  @judy_baca/  @sparcinla/

Bogotá, Colombia artist, designer, and photographer Diana Ordóñez, aka LeDania, wants her colorful murals to leave viewers with feelings of positivity and vibrancy. While she intentionally avoids political and religious themes, her work does incorporate symbolism of the mythical and magical, even going as far as incorporating the Greek god Leda into her working name. Highlighted by @Wdwlls in 2015 as one of the rising female Latin American street artists to watch, LeDania’s fame has continued to grow. In 2018 she visited Detroit where she painted this tribute to Chilean guitarist Ismael “Bandolero” Durán and his daughter Amelia on Vernor Hwy at Newark St. Describing the finished work LeDania said “music can have have color and shape."  @ledania/

Strikes work. Labor needs to recognize their power and influence.
