John,
If a picture is worth a thousand words, is a hard-hitting Get-Out-The-Vote
billboard worth a thousand votes?
Our friends at [ [link removed] ]RememberWhatTheyDid.com are betting it will and they're
putting it into action. Robin Bell, known for his video projections on the
Trump Hotel in DC, and Scott Goodstein, a veteran of the Obama 2008 and
Sanders 2016 campaigns, have brought together leading artists from across
the United States for an unprecedented street-level effort to inspire and
energize voters in key states that will determine the 2020 election.
The new billboard and street art campaign starkly portrays the worst
atrocities perpetrated by President Trump and his allies as part of a get
out the vote and voter registration drive focused on traditionally
overlooked voters, young people and communities of color that frequently
are not reached with traditional political advertising.

The campaign brings together some of the most critically acclaimed social
justice artists of our time, including Shepard Fairey (creator of the
iconic Obama "Hope" poster), Nekisha Durrett, Nate Lewis, Rafael Lopez,
Robert Russell, Rob Sheridan, and Swoon and uses powerful imagery that
connects the dots from Trump Republicans' hateful rhetoric and its impact
on our communities to voting in November to kick them out.
The Remember What They Did campaign is a partnership with national
organizations, Collective Pac, Democracy for America, and Presente, and
local groups, Voices of Michigan, Keystone Progress, and Pontiac Policy
Action, and unions, International Union of Painters, and Allied Trades and
others, to deepen the reach into targeted neighborhoods with street
posters, fliers, and voter registration teams.

[ [link removed] ]Please contribute now to fuel this exciting campaign to mobilize Black,
brown and young voters in targeted battleground cities - Detroit, Michigan
- Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Phoenix, Arizona - to
get-out-the-vote and defeat Donald Trump.
It's 2020. Door-to-door canvassing is tricky and in most places doesn't
even make sense during COVID, but that doesn't mean people aren't out
delivering groceries to family members or getting gas. The goal is to make
sure we don't leave any stone unturned and reach out to every voter,
because the mistake Democratic campaigns make over and over is assuming
the Democratic base will always come out and vote. But the statistics from
the 2016 presidential race show vote turnout dropped 5% from Obama to
candidate Hillary Clinton and the overall enthusiasm was down between
7-20% in a range of states, age and population demographics.
Standard political marketing can miss between 35% to 40% of communities of
color, especially young voters. Voter file-based matching is not a perfect
science in communities with high housing turnover like college campuses
and apartments. This campaign fills in the holes by taking it to the
streets with factual information and emotionally charged visuals leaving
no stone unturned. We're working to get everyone registered, pledged, and
mobilized to #VoteThemOut!

It’s going to take all of us to defeat Trump and elect progressives across
the country this November. Thank you for everything you're doing to win.
