This is How to Hold Two Opposing Views at Once with Vent Diagrams
"Venting is an emotional release, an outlet for our anger, frustration, despair -- and as a vent enables stale, suffocating air to flow out, it allows new fresh air to cycle in and through." - E.M. and Rachel

E.M./Elana Eisen-Markowitz is a xennial educator organizer currently in flux. Until Sept 2020, E.M. worked in NYC public schools - as a social studies teacher, a union chapter leader, a gender & sexuality alliance facilitator, and a “restorative justice coordinator.” For over a decade, she organized with Teachers Unite to help grow the power of workers, students, and parents at school sites to stand against oppression and collaboratively build the communities we imagine for ourselves. And, E.M. is a member of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice.
Rachel Schragis is an artist and cultural organizer, born and raised and living still in NYC. She is the co-founder of Look Loud, where her visual strategy work supports community groups using direct action to take control of their own media narratives. A nerd for visual mapping practices, Rachel’s most recently completed poster is Unravelling Antisemitism—a collaboration with Jews for Racial and Economic Justic). She has also worked on the arts and cultural organizing teams for many climate justice organizing projects, including Sunrise Movement, the People’s Climate March, GreenFaith and Build Back Fossil Free.
