18 Million Rising has launched "My Elders Taught Me How To Pray" in collaboration with movement artist Ashley Lukashevsky! This shirt is inspired by the strength and visionary leadership of our elders and ancestors.
Many of our elders had to take risks to survive and radically change their conditions. They adapted, innovated, and dreamed of new possibilities. From immigrant aunties to beloved activist elders - our organizing work wouldn?t be possible without them!
We take in their fiery spirit and honor it with our own fight for social change.
My Elders Taught Me How To Pray
Amidst swirling incense lies an overturned police car. We?re sending up abolitionist prayers to transform a world of harm and punishment into one of healing and interdependence.
Surrounding the incense and police car are scenes of transformation. From burning prisons comes abundance and life-giving nature: butterflies, birds, flowers. We?re calling on our elders and ancestors to guide our work in tearing down all systems of violence and oppression.

Proceeds from shirt sales will support 18 Million Rising's grassroots campaigns, projects, and community trainings for racial justice and immigrant rights.
In 2020, 18MR formally ?came out? as an abolitionist organization. 18MR has made the conscious choice to be loud and unapologetic about our belief that liberation does not include false solutions like policing, hate crimes laws, prisons, or ICE. Help us bring this energy into Asian American communities by supporting our work!

They use illustration and visual art as a tool to strengthen social movements for racial justice, immigrant justice, climate justice, mental health and LGBTQIA+ liberation.
