 by Anne Jordan Anne says, "I drew this image the day after the election because I felt we'd betrayed Muslim Americans."
 by Nicky Minus Nicky Minus is an artist living in Sydney, Australia. Nicky says: "I made this comic to highlight and acknowledge the many ways each day that individuals are faced with oppressive and controlling forces that seek to wear down a person into submission. Resistance is more important than ever."
 by Sarah Romano Diehl Sarah says, "Sometimes what a situation calls for is a good old fashioned eye pecking."
 by Meghan Boehman Meghan says, "Every since Donald Trump became the Republican party nomination, I had this idea for a social issues comic brewing around in my head. This image was my idea as my introduction into political art. It is my hope that by channeling my feelings on the subject matter, that it may shine through in my art in such a way that other people can benefit from it. I think it is very frightening that my country is taking a step back from how it views minorities and women, and I want to speak out against it."
 by Traci Howard Traci says, "A picture says a thousand words."
 by Whitney Taylor Whitney says, "This comic is based off of my first morning commute after the election. I value the diversity of my country and the city that I live in (NYC) and I became even more aware of what was at stake for us that morning."
 by Kate Glasheen Kate says, "I was torn about using Ben Franklin's iconic political cartoon, as its original purpose was far more unsavory than the purpose it grew to fill. Ultimately though, "Join, or Die," more popularly known as a rallying call to the colonies to join against British oppression, is too powerful an image, and it's adopted message too close to our current plight, for me to opt against it."
 by Ghazaleh Rastgar Ghazaleh says, "Before the elections, a friend and I were exchanging stories about not being taken seriously, or having experienced some sort of sexual assault and other forms of misogyny. We spoke of how great it will be for the whole world when Hillary becomes the president. Low and behold, Mr. Grab-her-by-the-pussy was elected. This piece to me signifies that the resistance continues. For us women to keep on going, and keep on resisting all the dicks (real or metaphorical) thrown at us, down the path to equality, and still be the majestic creatures that we are."
