Behind the Design: The Origin of 'Your Silence Speaks in Blood' Postcards

In response to the urgent need for inclusive activism, I came up with the idea for 'Your Silence Speaks in Blood' postcards. I realized that some people might face barriers to speaking out, like worries about their immigration status or job. So, I created these postcards to give everyone a way to express support for Palestine anonymously.

My main goal was to make things easy for everyone. Each postcard is carefully designed to fit regular 8.5x11-inch paper, so you can easily print them using any standard printer. I kept it simple and minimalistic, so it looks good whether you print it in color or black and white. This shows my dedication to meeting the needs of all kinds of users.

The tagline "Your silence speaks in blood" is a stark reminder of the complicity of certain representatives in ongoing genocide in Palestine. By refusing to advocate for a ceasefire, they betray their constituents' calls for action. This message aims to disturb not only its recipient but also all who handle it, serving as a passive amplifier of advocacy against genocide, even reaching unintended recipients like postal service workers.

I urge you to utilize these postcards as a tool for meaningful action—download, share, and amplify. Together, let us flood our representative’s mailboxes, one postcard at a time.
