Renowned advocacy organization People For the American Way inspires the activist spirit in us all. Including an activism guide with a foreword by Jamie Lee Curtis, 50 postcards, 32 conversation starter cards, five mini posters, and two sheets of stickers, The Art of Saving Democracy features the work of 20 prominent artists from across the country. 

For more than four decades, People For the American Way has inspired and mobilized Americans to defend freedom, justice, and democracy. With this kit, they share their wisdom to empower all of us to actively participate in our democracy. Whether you’re taking to the streets or taking up a pen, The Art of Saving Democracy can help you be more effective when you express yourself, champion our shared rights and freedoms, and resist hate and authoritarianism. Featuring powerful works from renowned artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Shepard Fairey, Carrie Mae Weems, Vincent Valdez, and Deborah Kass, the kit includes 50 postcards that can be used to urge friends to vote or be part of a postcard-writing campaigns, colorful stickers to spread important messages, and mini-posters to display on store front windows and community bulletin boards. Also included are 32 conversation starters and a practical how-to guide that teaches essential skills for activism, such as how to write an opinion piece, how to present a strong argument to elected officials, and how to take collective action. All royalties from the kit will go to People For the American Way, a progressive organization started by Norman Lear to combat bigotry and promote creative expression.
