This poster was designed with the Ella Baker Center in July 2013, for “Night Out for Safety & Democracy,” their community alternative to the police-sponsored event National Night Out. In the course of designing them, George Zimmerman was found innocent for the murder of Trayvon Martin, and the poster’s message took on a new level of urgency. We need holistic approaches to safety that come from our communities and that invest in the lives of Black and Brown youth.
