Valentine's Day purports to celebrate love. In practice, corporations have used this day to commodify heteronormative ideas of romantic love to sell products. CSPG's posters of the Week remind us that love—not the narrowly-defined love described in greeting cards, but Love as a core value and a practice—is a vital part of what is needed to act for meaningful and lasting social change. It's important to celebrate Love and continue to Love, especially during hard times. Love is political, Love is revolutionary, Love is part of the fight. Happy Valentine's Day!
Quote by George Jackson (1941-1971)
Political Prisoner, Black Panther member, writer, assassinated in San Quentin by prison guards.
