November 04, 2020 Alison Nowak This t-shirt was designed for Family Tree Clinic’s 2019 Pride March. The saying has been, we rise by lifting others, but that saying creates a hierarchy, and a separation: those lifting and those lifted. We revised the statement to say, “We Rise by Lifting Each Other” so that the effort and reward of lifting is shared. The lettering was created using Adobe Illustrator and a Wacom tablet and the t-shirts were printed by Rebel Ink in St. Paul. About Alison Nowak Alison Nowak is an illustrator, designer, and writer.
