China Chow Instagram – Allies Matter, Bandana By Hank Willis Thomas For Freedoms
Artists Band Together is a pro-democracy political rebellion in the form of artist-designed bandanas. From the American Revolution to Harriet Tubman and the abolitionist movement to Rosie the Riveter, bandanas have played an important role as a historical symbol in the struggle for freedom. In the midst of a global pandemic and a powerful civic awakening, our artists’ bandanas seek to carry that spirit into the future as a sign of our collective commitment to democratic values.
As Americans band together to demand justice in the streets, we also have to make sure that our voices are heard at the ballot box in November. All proceeds from Artists Band Together bandana purchases will be donated to nonprofit organizations working year-round in communities to empower voices and get out the vote.
