Slavery Footprint

Park trail

I came across this blog by Teen Angster on Etsy today and thought it was worth sharing.
It’s really an eye opener, although I already knew a lot about this, it really brought it home for me!  
So check out the website below and let me know what you think.

Slavery Footprint mission statement
“That’s why we’d like to help you understand your influence on slavery. Not so you can feel bad. Not so you’ll stop buying stuff…so you will ask the brands you like to find out where their materials are coming from. It’s not hard for them. A free market should come from free people. We’re all working towards making available an objective, third party supply chain review that will be quite clear. Together, we’ll work toward a world where everything you buy could have a new kind of ‘Made in…’ tag.”

Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

The Art Show

The Art Show

One of my favorite things to do is to hang out at the Pomona Arts Colony and visit the local art galleries in the area and one of my favorite places is the Main Street Gallery.
While I was there last Saturday, George the owner invited me to the opening reception for the artist Joy McAllister and I must say she is a gifted artist that makes a paint brush sing!
So if you’re in the local area I would highly recommend you check out Joy’s show titled “Paradigm Drift” at the Main Street Gallery in the Pomona Art District.
