Activism is trauma healing - A @softcore_trauma coloring sticker pack

Our latest coloring book sticker pack in collaboration with Margeaux Feldman, aka @softcore_trauma will benefit a three-generation Palestinian family who has evacuated to Cairo; profits will support their costs of living & medical expenses to repair & heal serious injuries & illness. 

Margeaux made the memes this coloring pack is based on as they watched student protests emerge on university campuses around the country, the world, but particularly in LA where they live.

Margeaux writes "Amongst all of the darkness, these students show us that there is hope. And in their activism, I am reminded of all of the ways that activism is a form of trauma healing."

We've been feeling the same way; when we saw Margeaux's memes we knew this would be a perfect coloring pack for these times – to remind us why we activate, protest, resist, & mobilize. To remind us why we hurt so deeply in the face of systemic injustice, state-sponsored violence, & empire-led catastrophe – & what we can do in the face of feeling powerless. We act. 

When we act, we have the power to heal the trauma we've sustained in our lifetimes & cary from generations and generations before us. Activism is trauma healing. 

You can give these to your friends, partners, and loved ones and do some self-regulation by coloring them in, using them as creative prompts in your notebook, place in the wild to inspire others, or any other way you're inspired to use them.

This pack includes 10 different stickers; each printed on a 4"x4" semi-gloss thermal sticker paper. Pencils, crayons, pastels, acrylic pens/paint & permanent markers are most recommended for use with coloring stickers as they are slightly water resistant. Super inky or water based markers and pens are going to be the LEAST fun to work with unless you want to experiment with some ink-smearing, depth, &/or drying time!
