Encouraging US photographers to promote and celebrate the power of voting.
The 2020 election is critical to the United States’ future, to improving BIPOC and LGBTQ lives, responding to the climate crisis, improving global relations, and countless other issues. Voting isn’t a magic pill but it is a step toward progress.
The photo community is working together to support and encourage Americans to vote this fall and we’d love to see what voting means to you.
How it works: Use your Instagram feed to share images that tell a visual story about why you're voting in 2020, and include the hashtag #PhotographersVote #Vote2020 on your Instagram post.
Between now and the election, we, and many of the growing list of partners listed below will share images that catch our eyes on our respective IG feeds - always with credit.
While we're at it, check out this voting resources list.
If you’d like us to add your platform, organization, gallery, publishing engine, etc to the growing list of supporters below, please send a DM to @humbleartsfoundation on Instagram or email hello@hafny.org
Let’s work together to make The United States a better place. Let’s get out the vote!
And also: our friends at Lenscratch are having an open call for an online exhibition around the same idea!
And so are our friends at Too Tired
Featureshoot also just put out this great list of creative ideas for using photography to promote voting.
