About the project
Design As Protest Day of Action
The Design As Protest (DAP) Cypher is a Design Justice gathering to bring community members, artist, activists, and designers together in pursuit of a design intervention with the explicit intention of addressing issues of injustice throughout the built environment. This is an action, using the language of design, to protest a new administration that actively opposes civil liberties and seeks to perpetuate injustice in our world.

Why we‘re doing it
Purpose : Why should we be doing this?
The Design Justice Platform (DJP) is a means to establish a set of ethical, apolitical, socially and environmentally conscious guidelines for operating as designers of the built environment.
We will organize around our professional ethical imperative in order to develop a movement that operates with three explicit goals.
