In 2024, a wave of protests swept through Kenya. Triggered by a controversial proposed finance bill, the movement has evolved into a broader campaign for more accountable governance in the country. Some demand the entire government’s resignation. The Kenyan police drew strong criticism for repeatedly lobbing tear gas at protesters and charging them with batons, responding with live fire. On 26 June, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights reported that 39 people had been killed in the protests since they began. Learn more from Meron Elias here. The text of this design was inspired by Senator Edwin Sifuna during an interview where he asked this famous question. Wear this to stand in solidarity against bad governance anywhere; wear this to stand in solidarity with the Kenyan people, wherever there is a call for justice and progressive dialogue. Notice the design in the lens: red for the effect of tear gas, red for the flag, red for the blood of innocent protesters.
