Last fall while visiting Ireland, the number 22 kept recurring on our trip, a room number, a table number, a food receipt, a sober anniversary, 2yrs, 2 months,2 days. After that a grocery trip, 22 items, totaling $220.00. We knew it had meaning, and here we are, Renee, and Alex, 22 days apart, and 22 dancers. My heart is hurting and the sheer hate and terror which is being inflicted on our country at the hands of ICE, still feels like a movie. However it’s not, I love this piece, and I am grateful that these brave and incredible artists, could exercise their rights to show respect to these 2 beautiful people, who were robbed of their right to live. Renee, and Alex, Thankyou for your bravery and sacrifice.
ResistDance is so powerful! We need all the arts - dance, singing, resistance street art, incredibly creative signs, performance of all kinds. At our Free America Walkout, we got a brass band to lead a second line through the center of town. Big, bold and lots of fun!
These dancers took my breath away. I love you have highlighted this! As an artist, I’ve been creating political art ( something I’ve never done before). I make stickers and magnets from my art as well postcards that I sell on Etsy. I love to send the postcards to congress and voters and just leave around places I go to remind people that they are not alone. And I’ve been donating 20% of my proceeds to different non profits that align with the art ( for example I created an illustration in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and will donate to Neighborhood House MN.) I’m loving seeing what fellow creatives are doing!
This is exactly what this post is about! Thank you for sharing this Allie! If you're comfortable sharing your Etsy, feel free to share it here in the comments.. I know readers here would love to see your work.
I also have my work on apparel through Bonfire, which they take care of the donating for me ( less admin work there and more time for creating lol): https://www.bonfire.com/store/do-good-7/
What a wonderful way to show what everybody is doing. I myself can't do anything due to my health and my age. I do do a lot from my phone. I sign a lot of petitions, and I forward all of them. I also send different podcasts and I donate.
With many ways of protest available it's encouraging to see the arts community participation. Music has the incredible ability to touch each of us. All emotions find representation in music. Adding dance brings movement which can be an automatic reaction to the sounds. Audio and visual expressions are ever lasting in the world. Never allow them to be taken away.
Beautiful dance choreography, sends a strong message, which we really need these days. I love the creative ways people are communicating and coming together.

Such awesome display of power. ✊🇺🇸✊
I can't wait for the next protest.

Really appreciate your shout out to all of the creative artists out there! Imagination is a huge tool for how we resist.

Thank you. I re-shared the ResistDance to Bluesky and Substack.
Breath taking! Everything in this!
