including peace and anti-war materials, the labor movement,
environmental actions, global justice organizing, harm reduction and
the war on drugs, and other progressive causes. Find out more about
Jason's MOMA controversy!

"Graphic design is about art and communication. Social change is
about collective liberation, mutual aid, self-determination and
uprooting dominator culture. Combining graphic design and social
change gives us the tools to effectively voice our values, visions
and ideas, and help determine the path of our common future." - Jason
Justice
