Postcards from Forever

Through powerful archival and contemporary images of Black dignity and protest, Postcards from Forever highlight the timelessness and perpetuity of anti-Black racism and police brutality in the U.S., while also creating a space where people can demand that their legislators work toward a more accountable, equitable future. Mail these postcards to change the world.

 

Demand Justice

Postcards from Forever is a series of postcards meant to be sent to legislators, demanding an end to police brutality and state-sanctioned racism against Black communities. 

You can customize and send real postcards through our partner online service Congress Cards. 

Alternatively – if you are a community organizer, teacher, activist, etc., and need higher volumes of postcards – you can also download them from this website, and then print them at your local print shop.
