I can suggest something like the BLM raised fist, it is used mostly around BLM but I think it’s a good symbol for activism as a whole?
Something like this: https://stock.adobe.com/nz/images/black-lives-matter-fist-hand-graphic-icon-symbol-black-power-illustration-perfect-for-a-protest-sign-card-or-shirt-design/366822987

A raised fist goes back much further in history, at least to the French revolution, not sure about before that. Its always been a symbol of solidarity and anti-fascism. Eyes have been used as a symbol, as in bearing witness to whats going on. Keith Haring created some incredible iconography like the 3 eyed monster, barking dog, etc. Colors by themselves have been used to mark activism. Then you have more generic symbols that have been used, like a bullhorn, scales of justice, pitchforks, etc.
the image on the adobe link isn’t displaying for me for some reason, but i think multiple raised fists might be cool to use, like this one:

or maybe something with signs: https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/social-justice_10523661

basically i’m voting for colourful icons as an aesthetic choice, & icons with multiple people to keep a focus on collectivism :)
Makes sense, I do prefer clean black/white designs, but this is a personal preference and I see how multicolor icon with multiple people/fists is better representation of the community.
i think that website allows just the outlines to be used as well, if that’s what folks prefer!
Yeah I think that would work. I also would say a stylized megaphone could work or maybe a symbol that includes multiple people aimilar to this one.
Oh I like the megaphone one as well!
I was thinking about multiple people as well, but in the search and on mobile the icons are kinda small, idk if it will be visible. Maybe we can use it as a wallpaper(or however the banner behind the icon is called).
