We The People is a nonpartisan campaign dedicated to igniting a national dialogue about American identity and values through public art and story sharing. In January 2017, in collaboration with renowned activist artists Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena and Jessica Sabogal, Amplifier launched a record-breaking art Kickstarter campaign — We The People — which raised $1.3 million in eight days.

Ruth and Dale Fast - generous friends of Crossroads Fund - donated several of these posters to us this year and two are being auctioned off.

The first one is We The People - Defend Dignity  

From the Amplifier website -  This photograph taken by Arlene Mejorado and illustrated by Shepard Fairey is a crucial part of the We the People campaign. Mejorado, a photographer and documentary-maker from California, describes herself as "the daughter of migrants, brown, queer, multi-ethnic, and aspirant of beauty and truth." The image depicts Xicana activist Maribel Valdez Gonzalez, described by the artist as "an incredible queer, first gen, muxerista, educator who constantly pushes my politics." The final artwork was carried by thousands at the Women's March for the 2017 inauguration. Gonzalez' radiance, captured through her peer's lens, serves as a visual reminder of the honor and respect we all deserve.

This special poster measures 24" x 36" and is framed.
