Art for liberation. Action for California

Friends,

Today, I’m thrilled to invite you to something special: our online auction in support of this campaign for Governor of California.

This isn’t just about raising funds. It’s about raising our collective voice. 

Each piece in this auction tells a story—none more powerful than the artwork of Tara Kekaha, who joined our Events Coordinator, Noura, in Palestine in 2003 during nonviolent resistance against the Israeli occupation.

The images she created are raw, spiritual, and defiantly human. It is the art of resistance both in theme and in practice.

These pieces channel the soul of a people fighting for survival—and the dream of a future rooted in freedom.

This campaign has made its position clear from day one: genocide is not a gray area. 

And we are the only gubernatorial campaign in California unburdened by the corruption of the corporate duopoly. 

While Democrats and Republicans alike make excuses, stall ceasefires, and fund occupation, we’re building a movement that stands unapologetically with the people of Gaza—and with every community under siege.

Every bid you place helps fuel that work.

If you'd like to support in another way, we’re also accepting item donations to grow the auction, and new artwork will be added weekly—so check back often.

Because this is more than a fundraiser. It’s a declaration: we will not fund genocide. We will fund justice.

Peace and Power,

Butch Ware
