DAC is a huge fan of Hari Kondabolu and we had fun collaborating on this project, built to budget using a commercial theme.

Project Highlights
- Custom illustration
- Multimedia galleries
- Quotes
- Events listing

Hari Kondabolu is a comedian, writer and podcaster based in Brooklyn, NY. The NY Times called him “one of the most exciting political comics in stand-up today” while Newsweek said of him, “The comedian is not afraid to be confrontational and aggressive with issues that make people sweat—racism, sexism, classism, colonialism and white privilege—while putting his vulnerabilities onstage through jokes and anecdotes that turn discomfort into laughter.”

On April 15, 2024, the Golden Gate 26 took action where institutions refused to. They shut down the Golden Gate Bridge to protest U.S. support for Israel’s assault on Palestinians and to demand accountability for the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Now, seven of the 26 protesters are facing felony charges and up to 15 years in prison for daring to speak out.

But repression will not crush resistance. Criminalizing protest will never silence solidarity. From the Bay to Palestine, we will continue to organize, resist, and fight for liberation.

STAND WITH THE GOLDEN GATE 26! FREE PALESTINE!

For those of you attending Netroots Nation 2026 in Philly, don't miss the "Designs on Democracy: Media Makers Resisting Fascism" panel happening Thursday June 4 at 10:30am featuring our very own Sabiha Basrai!

The political terrain has shifted and the stakes are high. How can we win the battle of the story in this moment of authoritarian consolidation? As graphic designers and media makers, how can we learn from past movements, and develop strategic visual communication to win campaigns? Join us for a panel discussion on tools, practices, and case studies. As people of color, women, and immigrants, we will reflect on opportunities and challenges we face in doing this work.

Featuring:

Sabiha Basrai, Art Director/Worker-Owner, Design Action Collective
Anthony Rogers-Wright, Policy Fellow, Movement for Black Lives
Yash Mori, Owner and Principal, Mori Strategies
Candice Dayoan, Moderator, Political Creative Director

Design Action worked with LEAF (Latino Education Advancement Foundation) to design a website on Squarespace with an updated brand identity. The site’s main goals were to recruit more donors and make their educational programs easy to apply to.

Project Highlights:

Easy-to-read, typographic logo: We chose a legible, sans serif font to keep the brand identity approachable and easy to read. This echoes how LEAF’s programming makes their content accessible to their audience.

Colors and textures add emotional depth: The styles play on themes of roots and home. “Leaf” imagery informed the color palette. We also referenced architecture from Latin America, such as imagery of weathered walls, to add subtle texture.

The Latino Education Advancement Foundation (LEAF) focuses on improving economic outcomes for socio-economically disadvantaged Latinx students and other students of color, with a focus in East San José, CA.

This morning, Donald Trump posted a genocidal threat to the people of Iran, stating, among other things, that "a whole civilization will die tonight." Before that he threatened to bomb bridges and power plants, all of which are examples of war crimes. Both the US and 1srael have already bombed educational and cultural sites, oil terminals, bridges, and other types of civilian infrastructure, all illegal under international law. This war has already caused instability in that region, and has impacted the global economy, which we've started to feel in things like higher gas prices. Not to mention all the pain and death caused by these forms of aggression.

Sadly this isn't the first time we've has shared this graphic. Design Action came into being out of the anti-war movements in the early 2000s, and our stance remains the same today! Stop the US war machine. NO WAR ON IRAN!
