Announcing our Fall 2022 Dialogues Series! We are excited to have 3 amazing guests: Dr. Tara Dudley (@UTSOA@TDudleyPhD), Bryan Lee Jr. (@colloqate@designasprotest@darkmatter_u, event co-sponsored by @McHargCenter) & Melvin A. Marshall (@BandOfVices). More info on our website!
Let’s listen now to Navi from @designasprotest talk about the professional and personal responsibility of designers to stop causing harm and instead collaborate with communities to build the infrastructure we need to thrive.
#NoNewWomensPrison#NoNewPrisons@HDR_Inc
We sent our demand letter to @HDR_Inc a week ago with
@thecouncilus@designasprotest@IL_ARJ
and formerly incarcerated women and directly affected people from around the country.
HDR has failed to respond.
Help us lift these demands: bit.ly/tellhdr
Our demands are coming from communities fighting on the front lines against jail and prison construction.
Let's go through our demands to @HDR_Inc one by one.
First - IMMEDIATELY withdraw from all carceral construction projects!
💯🚫
#NoNewWomensPrison#NoNewPrisons
Yesterday we sent this letter to @HDR_Inc asking them to withdraw from all jail & prison design contracts repair harm by #ReimaginingCommunities - not prisons - with us.
They never responded to our last letter.
It’s time to listen to directly affected women #A22Con
admiring how much has changed since 2017 when @designasprotest was founded, w/ @darkmatter_u in 2020, as the old guard of the likes of Bruce Mau who until 2017 worked against systemic action, shunned activism, and turned away from protest youtu.be/gFxgqC0Mgtw
At the same time for the past two years we’ve been in an design organizational ecosystem where @designasprotest and @darkmatter_u members organize against hegemonic White supremacy in arch in society. These people have been around for much more than 2 yes doing this work btw 8/
