Greater Good Studio

In the early stages of autocracy, language becomes a battleground. Words that name resistance, dignity, or alternative ways of being are erased.

What we know at Greater Good Studio is that while these words may be stripped from government websites and grant applications, these people and ideas and experiences are not going anywhere. With this poster, we wanted to not only preserve these truths, but proclaim their beauty, strength and life-giving importance.

Let’s see what good trouble we can get into on November 3rd in Chicago **edoffoptimists

Save the date! Greater Good Studio is proud to present the Livid Conference: A Gathering for Pissed-Off Optimists, coming Nov 3rd. Hosted in our hometown of Chicago, this is the conference for people who can tell the world is broken but still believe we can fix it together. In-person and virtual tickets for on sale soon.

After selling out Angry Hour™: The Happy Hour for Pissed-Off Optimists in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Austin, I think it's safe to say there are a lot of folks who need some space to vent.

Now, Angry Hour™ is coming to Los Angeles. We can forgive Angelenos for not having a lot of optimism right now, and quite a lot to be pi**ed off about. Coming together is one way we can show our support.

Tickets here: https://www.tixtree.com/e/angry-hour-the-happy-hour-for-pi**ed-off-optimists-la-edition-1fe935f8f6fc

Your purchase includes a drink ticket and a donation to The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a California leader whose mission is to achieve a just society fully inclusive of immigrants.

Perhaps you'll meet a new collaborator, a new hire for your organization, or just someone with whom you can laugh, cry, and/or shake your fist at the sky. Feel free to share this invite with a fellow Pissed-Off Optimist you know in LA.

Say hello to the Social Design Database! With over 300 organizations that utilize design for social impact, this database has a new, easier-to-remember name and a new home at Greater Good Studio's site.

Apoplectic Pessimists is either the best remix of the Angry Hour events we’ve ever heard yet. Or it’s the name of an edgy new band playing for “one nite only!!!” Tickets to Angry Hour™ Austin, TX are still available. Philadelphia, PA has now sold out. Get your tickets via the link our bio!
