''Eight years ago, the artist Shepard Fairey made the iconic image that captured a period of HOPE in America. Today we are in a very different moment, one that requires new images that reject the hate, fear, and open racism that were normalized during the 2016 presidential campaign. So on Inauguration Day, We the People will flood Washington, DC with NEW symbols of hope.'' The campaign states.Shepard along with other artists such as Ernesto Yerena, and Jessica Sabogal, have collaborated with photographers to create a series of images that capture the shared humanity of America's diversity.
The posters feature women of colour, of different religions and different ethnicity.
Other posters in the campaign stand up for the LGBT community and Native Americans.
The idea is that these posted will be distributed across America and specifically Washington today.
