The time is now.  We at Electric Works have made political appeals before.  Each one has felt crucial.  This one is not any less so.  Kamala Harris and Tim Walz offer us hope in times of looming, seemingly unstoppable doom from those who would take power and not ever cede it.  We could not sit by and do nothing while there is so much at stake in this election.  We spoke to some of our past collaborative artists to put forth this fundraiser.  

100% of proceeds from the sales of these prints goes directly to Michigan Voices.  They ensure that voters get registered and voters' voices get heard. This action will be key to victory in Michigan, one of the battleground states that Harris must win.  

Economy, women's health rights, the future of democracy, manufacturing and the environment are all in play in 2024.   

Vote Kamala!!, 2024. 20x16.  Edition of ten.  Archival pigment print.
