Art impacts social movements

Throughout history, artists have played a vital role in every major social movement—shining light where others look away, stirring our conscience, and expanding our collective imagination of what’s possible. This time is no different.

That’s why People For the American Way and its network of artists created The Art of Saving Democracy: An Action Kit for Making Change!

At a time when our freedoms and core values are under assault, it’s a new civic renewal initiative that uses art to inspire and equip more Americans to actively participate in our democracy. Learn more and order a copy at artofsavingdemocracy.org.
