Power is everywhere. It’s local and global, personal and public, selfish and selfless. There is power in the food we eat, the music we make, and the ideas we share. Power is a seat at the table, a movement, a path forward, and a new beginning.
SFDW invites the design community to reconsider the way we think about power – and how, by questioning existing institutions, we can use our collective abilities to help distribute and delegate power with equitable intentions.

We stand with solidarity against white supremacy, racism, police brutality, and injustice. We are designers, masters of communication and meaning, and can use our voices to create change. With great power comes great possibilities”.
