Solid silver (.999 Fine Silver), Limited edition of 250, 1.5" collector's coin from Shepard Fairey to help you choose between democracy and despotism! 40mm thick, 1 Troy Ounce, shipped in an acrylic protective cup inside velvet clamshell case, with signed & numbered Certificate of Authenticity from Obey.
We have been collaborating with Obey for over a decade now on the most important movements of our time, and as we look to the year ahead, there are few greater than protecting our democracy. Decisions will be made around the world on every continent next year that could tip the scales from empowered populations to authoritarian rule. In the U.S., we're not immune. We're entrenched in a culture war that is pouring gasoline on mis- and disinformation campaigns, fueling voter suppression and voter purges. Ongoing gerrymandering works openly to assure entire communities have their political voice silenced.
This art sale will fund photographers and photo based artists to build projects exposing threats to democracy in the runup to the 2024 elections. This group will do more than just bear witness: they will use their art to help safeguard democracy for all, not just for some.TODAY, (May 23, 2024) Amplifier Art launched the Democracy in Focus Kickstarter to face this truth with some new (old) technology with my first-ever coin! Our future feels like it hinges on a coin toss. Decisions will be made around the world on every continent next year that could tip the scales from empowered populations to authoritarian rule. In the U.S., we’re not immune. We’re entrenched in a culture war that is pouring gasoline on mis and disinformation campaigns, fueling voter suppression and voter purges. Ongoing gerrymandering works openly to assure entire communities have their political voice silenced.
The goal of this campaign is to raise money for rapid-response photojournalism grants via Amplifier Newsroom, to document threats to democracy leading up to 2024 elections. Support the campaign to ensure democracy is decided by informed choices, not fate.
