Innosanto Nagara is a children's author, activist, and graphic designer. He is the author of the alphabet book A is for Activist as well as the other children's books Counting on Community, My Night in the Planetarium, and the newly released The Wedding Portrait.[1][2][3] He is also the founder of Design Action Collective,[4] a self-described Marxist organization that believes "capitalism is an inherently exploitative and alienating system and that socialism presents a positive alternative."[5] As well, the Design Action Collective believes "the US government is the main impediment to peace and justice on a global scale"[5] and, as of 2010, actively supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel’s violations of Palestinian human rights’.[5] According to NPR, Nagara began writing children's books upon realizing that he could not find "a fun book" that "talked about the importance of social justice."[6]
