Patrisse Cullors Instagram – In 2011, almost 13 years ago, I called ACLU SoCal into an epic collaboration after reading their 86 page complaint against the Los Angeles Sheriff’s department.
I toured my first performance art piece, Stained: An Intimate Portrayal of State Violence and called on my community to help me bring this work to life.
What would develop is @dignityandpowernow my first grassroots organization that used my families story to take on the largest jailer in the world. DPN is still going strong and has been one of the most powerful orgs in concert with so many orgs in LA county.
I am grateful ACLU asked me to speak about my art and activism work, and our long time collaboration to change and transform LA county.
@jessicaraefarris thank you for capturing this moment. ❤️🙏🏾
