Postcard to Putin 2 (A Little Online Artistic Activism)

[Stephen Mead]

Want to support the athletes who have trained so hard to compete in the Winter Olympics?

Want to send a message of support to the LGBT people of Russia?

Not happy with Vladimir Putin's human rights abuses?

If the enclosed images “strike a chord” with you consider posting or passing on. (Just right click on image, choose "copy", "paste" or "save as".) This would be very helpful especially if you have international friends via your online network(s).

My hope is that the more people who take an interest, (perhaps being inspired to make postcards of their own; even setting up another “Postcards to Putin” website), the more the message will be sent to Putin that even though he has a position of power, the consensus is that he fosters the abuse of human rights, and all of us who may not be in positions of power to do something about this, can still make a statement, an appeal to his conscience, that he is encouraging bad things to happen to others and, ultimately, doing wrong.
