The font and wordmark are inspired by the "I AM A MAN" signs at the 1968 Memphis sanitation worker strikeâand the boldness of the present day Black resistance that& #39;s transforming this country, forcing us to confront systemic racism, and fighting for economic justice.
The inspiration for our colors comes from artist Sister Corita Kentâwhose work in the â60s urged viewers to consider poverty, racism, and injustice. They& #39;re simple and intuitive, like our missionâwith bold and interesting combinations, like the tactics we use to achieve it.
