Meanwhile… 031
Meanwhile… 031
As with other mediums, such as short fiction and private posts among friends (and public ones), this cartoon is me doing my best to convey how wrong it is that we celebrate our national day on a date that ties in with the invasion of those who cared for this land before we arrived and we were quick to not do or be better, neither for and to the first people of this land or the land itself.
We have very little to be proud of in regards to our current and longstanding treatment of those here before us, along with the audacity as colonial invaders to treat those who seek asylum here with equal disregard.
Change the date. Be better.
And most importantly, until the greater system at large does change, make change where you can and make things right if you can afford to (everything big or small counts) and give a portion of your income to Pay The Rent.
I've personally been offering $100 a month for some time now, but will increase that soon in 2021 now that work's more stabilised. If I earn more, I'll give more. It's only fair.
