Good morning. 🌬️ Today, craft as a way to connect with others during the pandemic, reviews of Adebunmi Gbadebo and Rodney McMillian, and a map of police brutality at Black Lives Matter protests.
I also want to point you to Rea McNamara’s inaugural post. She’s the new Emily H. Tremaine Journalism Fellow for Curators, and she has outlined some of the issues she will be exploring in curated online feminist spaces during the coming months. 
We all know what tomorrow is so look out for our special Election Day newsletter in your inboxes, and then if you still haven’t (and you’re a US citizen), wear a mask, bring a pen, and GO VOTE!

With election day fast approaching, the polls predict a tight race in battleground states. As part of a targeted campaign to get out the vote in communities of color, the Biden-Harris campaign has commissioned eight Black artists to create murals in their communities.
“Murals Across America” is a project run by the media company Truxton Creative. The murals were placed in predominantly Black areas in Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, and North Carolina.
