Land, Resistance, and Radical Care | Design by Milo Valentine. Cover 
Image Description: Pastel teal solid foundation with a graphic design 
depicting … The primary object of Land, Resistance, and Radical Care 
is an illustration of two hands side-by-side, palms up, with fingers 
slightly rounded. In the palm of the hands rests an object that might 
resemble Earth or a flower in bloom. A warm pink backlight surrounds 
the hands, symbolizing the interconnection of care and resistance. This 
piece is set against the backdrop of the Los Angeles County map from 
the 1800s, which includes topographic symbols and borders marked by 
colorful patches overseeing miles of land. Additionally, the phrases 
“Stolen Land” and “LandBack” are inscribed across the wrists of the 
hands holding our world, symbolizing the necessity of our pursuits to 
stem from this foundational historic understanding.
