Activist Soup

Activist Soup is a collaborative multimedia exhibition created by artists ages 6-13, celebrating twenty-six living American activists. This multi-generational group of activists has made substantial contributions toward overcoming the societal injustices and oppressive institutions that prevent all of us from living in a truly equitable country.

The people highlighted are the leaders who fight for change and inspire us to join them. They are ordinary people doing extraordinary work, showing us we can all be activists.

Each letter of the alphabet represents a verb, noun, or adjective related to activism, and each category features one activist. This list is not intended to be comprehensive. We hope to provide a snapshot of the myriad avenues of pursuing a better world and to acknowledge an inspiring group of living activists. We also acknowledge the countless lesser-known citizens working for a cause whose contributions are not always recognized. We hope you will have the opportunity to encounter a new face or two today, and that you are able to learn about the many ways you can, or may already be, an activist.
