[ [link removed] ]ENOUGH of Trump - Vote. People for the Ameican Way.
PFAW Member,
Have you had ENOUGH?
ENOUGH of Trump’s sickening cocktail of lies, hatred, and contempt for
democracy and the rule of law?
ENOUGH of Congressional Republicans enabling his every bad decision,
bigoted policy, and attack on our Constitution?
ENOUGH of Trump?
Well, you’re not alone. And it’s time to harness the passions and energy
of the tens of millions of Americans who have had ENOUGH of the Trump era,
which has been defined by police killings and other manifestations of the
racism that has been exacerbated and encouraged by this president … by the
deadly mismanagement of our current public health crisis … and by
unprecedented corruption and incompetence.
That’s why I am excited to write you today about the launch of PFAW’s new
ENOUGH OF TRUMP 2020 campaign using ART to build our movement and mobilize
voters in key presidential target states. We’re collaborating with some of
the country’s most prominent artists to galvanize voters this fall through
grassroots action to support Democratic candidates and oppose Trump’s
reelection.
Artists like Shepard Fairey, Carrie Mae Weems, and Ed Ruscha are joining
many others in donating their time and original, custom art pieces to
raise awareness of the harm Trump has caused and the dire need to get him
out of office – all under the simple theme of “ENOUGH!” And we’ll be
lifting up the work of artists from especially impacted communities,
including many Black artists, and local artists from our campaign’s target
states.

The New York Times published a piece today on the launch of our campaign –
"For Some Artists, Election Season Means ‘Enough of Trump’" – noting,
"More than a dozen artists including Carrie Mae Weems, Ed Ruscha and
Shepard Fairey have contributed art to an advocacy campaign aimed at
inspiring voters in November."
PFAW founder Norman Lear captured the essence of the campaign in a quote
included in the Times article:
“Art has the power to connect with people’s hearts as well as their minds
... This campaign will get people thinking and talking and feeling in
their guts how much they’ve had enough of this president. And we’ll remind
them that the only remedy for that is to vote.”
From registering voters and ramping up election security to getting out
the progressive vote and ensuring voter safety with vote by mail and other
solutions, there’s a lot to do between now and November.
Our campaign will be focused on building the volunteer base and energizing
voters in a few key target states, particularly Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
and Michigan – the three historically blue states where Trump eked out his
2016 Electoral College win. And there will be plenty to do for activists
in other states as well, including the crowdsourcing of new grassroots art
submissions from supporters across the country.
Please stay tuned over the coming weeks for exciting updates and more ways
to get involved.
In the meantime, please check out the website, browse the art, sign up to
take action, and help SPREAD THE WORD:

Along with artists, celebrities, and other influencers, we’re relying on
our grassroots army of PFAW members and activists to help push this
campaign far and wide!
Thank you for being a part of all of our 2020 work to defeat Trump and
Trumpism and save our democracy.
In unity,
– Ben Jealous, President
