This art is based on my UPSTRIKE design, which is a CC0, anti-authoritarianism protest symbol/design. Tons of files and variations of UPSTRIKE at upstrike.info

Oh that hits hard

First post:

Website: upstrike.info

The art is licensed CC0, meaning it's public domain. Do what you will, but please honor the motivation behind the design: DEFY AUTHORITARIANISM, NEOFEUDALISM & SUPREMACISM!

The design is easily recognized, it's easy to draw/paint, it's simple, it's strong, it's a little aggro, and it's flexible. I hope it inspires people to unite and stand together against these three modern threats.

I call the design "Upstrike" and I'm defining the word as both a noun and a verb. It's the name of the symbol which alludes to both labor strikes and directed opposition (upward), but also it's the act of editing, revising, or defacing other symbols or messages.

In the versions with text, "DEFY" is used as the command because it's a stronger action than "RESIST" (which was used in the past to arguable success/failure). We are past resisting the changes that are happening to our lives. We can't comply with the unjust, we must defy.

In the design, the spears point upward, because the battle is upward. They represent standing up and forming a line, together. In the colored versions of the design, red represents bravery, white represents independence, and blue represents truth.

I identified what I see as 3 of the largest modern threats facing society: authoritarianism (which includes fascism), neofeudalism (we are peasants to the billionaire lords controlling business, government, and the media), and supremacism (racism as well as social, economic, and educational bias).

I was inspired by the Iron Front / Three Arrows symbol, which was used in efforts to defend democracy against fascism, monarchism, and communism in the late Weimar Republic.

I published 15 design variations, various downloads, and the source file on upstrike.info. Everything is CC0 (public domain).

UPSTRIKE

Born from the legacy of anti-fascist resistance, UPSTRIKE is a call to rise against the forces that threaten democracy, equity, and freedom. This design confronts the modern axis of oppression: authoritarianism, neofeudalism, and supremacism. The command is simple: DEFY.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires.

This is a bill I cannot support.

Things to avoid:
- Feeling hopeless - things can change.
- Doomscrooling - it doesn't help you.
- Feeling alone - we are NOT alone.

Things to do if you can:
- Be heard by your reps (call/email/schedule meetings w/ them as often as possible)
- Show up for protests.
- Stop giving their businesses money (the Goods Unite Us app is somewhat useful for this).

(Cont)

This is what I'm telling myself...

Things to do:
- Stay strong, work out, get rest.
- Build your community.
- Love your family.
