Here are some examples of the kinds of colorful, durable vinyl banners I’ve been making for local groups recently and a few others from past years. Click the links to learn more about these groups and how you can support them during these ongoing crises of Covid 19 and state violence.
East TN Harm Reduction has been doing great work to save lives and provide mutual aid during these hard times. You can donate to them by finding them on CashApp and Venmo @EastTNHarmRedux
This banner was made for the Cattywampus Puppet Council’s annual parade (unfortuantely cancelled this year). This banner was hand painted with the original art made by Mene Manresa Bodipo (@MeneManresa on Instagram)
A mix of paint and vinyl was used to create this banner for a prison abolition conference at the Highlander Research Center.
First Aid Collective Knoxville has also been doing a lot of mutual aid work in conjunction with East TN Harm Reduction during the Covid crisis. You can find out more about them @FirstAidCollectiveKnox on Instagram
Black Mama’s Bailout Knoxville (@KnoxvilleBlackMamasBailout on Instagram) does great work to get Black mothers out of jail and support them upon release while working towards the larger goal of ending the injustice that is cash bail system.
