Friend,
Last night while we were tuning in to night 3 of the Democratic National Convention, pro-Trump and pro-Robert Kennedy Jr. supporters were out vandalizing Victoria Cassinova’s “FREEDOM: Kamala Harris” art that we had posted just blocks outside the convention center. This beautiful artwork celebrates Harris’s historic campaign.
They even had the nerve to livestream their defacement of the artwork to supporters in real-time – describing the artwork as “propaganda” – and then pose for pictures in front of their handiwork.
I was disappointed at first. But you know what: Anyone can destroy. It takes artists to create.
I've had enough of creepy authoritarians trying to censor art, ban books, and steal our joy.
So, I talked with my team this morning and we've decided to double down.
We are going to put Victoria Cassinova's beautiful portrait back up. We are going to post it on billboards and murals all over the country.
When they destroy, we'll create more. I hope you'll join us and spread art to save democracy.
With your support we’ll be able to get artwork in even more communities throughout the nation in order to spark conversations, inspire voters, and mobilize the public against the MAGA movement.
We won't back down. Join us. >>
Thank you,
Svante Myrick
President
