There's still time! As an organization that celebrates and supports the arts, we are unabashed about our pro-education, pro-love, anti-discrimination agenda. We believe art is a vital tool for political resistance against forces that seek to divide, oppress, humiliate, and erode our collective humanity. Art and action are the lights that never go out. We invite you to collaborate with us, in this spirit, on our next issue. http://farmergeneral.com/contact/
