WAGE❤️LOVE
A global movement turning negativity into positive action through the power of creative expression.
What is "Wage Love"?
"Wage Love" is a phrase initially made popular by Detroit activist Charity Hicks. In the midst of water shutoffs in Detroit, she argued that we needed to aggressively wage love at the negativity coming from leadership.
Ideologically it suggests that the best way to fight negativity is not with more negativity, but rather with positive energy and action.
#WageLove has transformed into a global movement, bringing together artists, designers, activists, and more to support those impacted by crisis and to advance innovative thought for marginalized communities.
