“The Gulf of Empathy,” (11 x 15) watercolor, mixed media on paper.*
Protect others. Speak Out. Use your art and voice when you can.
Thank you, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, for taking that opportunity to simply ask for mercy. Your words reverberated around the world and spoke to every heart, and especially strengthened mine and others’ hearts in queer communities and queer ally communities.
We pray every heart will hear the call to mercy.

Hello! A friend shared your art on one of many posts about this postcard campaign. I’ve been going crazy with 40 or so daily posts as I try to inspire millions getting in the mail! Haha! I envision truckloads of bags full of postcards… to create a global news story that can’t be ignored! We NEED to hear some good news these days!
So… I’m going to share your story and my art very soon, on my webpage, when I make my next update on this campaign. Check it out… http://www.bitsandpeaces.com I’m also an artist/poet/musician and environmental/political/social activist! Peace! And thanks for what you have done! Jim Kogelheide

I pray that her words to him burn in his mind; that deep down he will know what he does will make him the most unpopular, weakest and worst person ever to be President. I hope copies become available, I’d get one for the church I attend.

If Redbubble won’t, maybe it’s due to fear – please, please find someone who will get this out. I guarantee there will be buyers.
On the other hand – be careful, and protect yourself. ❤
Not sure exactly what held them back, but hopefully they will come around. We did find another place!
