Art for a cause: this #GivingTuesday give the gift of freedom
Today is Giving Tuesday, the one day of the year dedicated to giving back to the issues and causes that really matter.
Franke James is a Canadian artist, author and activist who has drawn inspiration from the Canadian government's attempts to silence her. In 2014, the BC Civil Liberties Association honoured Franke with a Liberty award for Excellence in the Arts for her refusal to sit idly by while her work was censored and her rights were trampled.
Franke is donating her art at cost to support the work of the BC Civil Liberties Association. To purchase Franke's art and books online please visit the links below. Proceeds will go to support the important work of the BCCLA in defending freedom and liberty in Canada.
As valued supporters of the BCCLA, no one understands the importance of defending our freedoms better than you. So this Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to show your support, purchase a poster or book, and gift the gift of freedom.
