wearethe99percent:

I am 19 years old, I’ve lived in poverty my entire life. My mother has worked the same job at $11/hr for 13 years to support me, my brother and my father. With how unstable welfare has been, my diabetic brother was unable to get the insulin he needs in order to survive.
I currently attend a small university as an art major, I’ll be $24,000 in debt by the time I graduate and I don’t even know if there are jobs for me. With education prices steadily rising, Graduate school might be nothing more than a dream for me.
The people in congress who decide how much we get have no idea what it’s like to live like us. They have never watched their children struggle and starve or went to a free medical center, to receive low quality help for a high quality situation or disease, because they couldn’t afford to go anywhere else.
They’ve never had to spend a weekend without electricity.
They’ve never had to spend 3 months without running water.
They’ve never gone days eating crackers because they don’t have enough money for food and their foodstamps got cut.
I hope for change.
I hope for equality.
I am the 99%.

Handpainted Type is a project that is dedicated to preserving the typographic practice
of street painters around India. These painters, with the advent of local DTP (Desktop Publishers) shops, are rapidly going out of business with many businesses and shops switching to the quicker, cheaper but uglier vinyls. Many painters have given up their practice altogether.

The project involves documenting the typefaces of road side painters across India, digitizing it and archiving it for future generations
