SUPPORT THE
EARTH CONVERGENCE

Purchase a sustainably created bandana to support accessible, public education that builds community infrastructure.

The Story Behind the Design

Born from the 2025 Earth Month Convergence art-making and screenprinting sessions, the EMC25 banda carries multilingual calls for liberation:

Palestine will be free from the river to the sea (Arabic)
Makibaka, huwag matakot — Fight! Do not be afraid! (Filipino)

These words grew from EMC visioning meetings and voices of elders, leaders, and community members who made the event possible. The bandana is both a keepsake of the Convergence and a symbol of the journey and vision that brought us there.

At its center a tree stump is encircled by a human, bird, fish, and leaf linked around it — a visual reminder that climate action and hope belong to all living beings. It calls us to decenter the idea that humans alone hold ecological wisdom, and to recognize the knowledge all around us, working in harmony toward a better, safer world.

Hand-printed on cotton fabric with renewable soy-based ink, each bandana is part of a sustainable approach to art-making. Proceeds will help fund future Earth Month Convergences and support the work of artist Mayana Nell Torres. We hope you wear it proudly — and join us in person at next year's EMC.
