Art is a core part of the movement to Free Marissa Alexander.  
Art that is inspired by Marissa's case and the movement to free her is posted below in the following categories:

• Visual Art Slideshow and Download Links
• Original Music, Music Videos, & Political Humor
• Poetry & Writing Projects

Also, please visit our tumblr and facebook page for photos of beautiful signs and banners designed by supporters for rallies and other events.  This list is still growing, so please e-mail us at freemarissanow@gmail.com to alert us about other art resources.  We also welcome your art work!  Art can be a beautiful and effective language to communicate why we need to free Marissa, end domestic violence and mass incarceration, and create communities that reflect safety and mutual reciprocity.
