End the Error

End the Error was a U.S. political action campaign created during the 2018 mid-term elections and continued through the 2020 presidential election cycle.

Political Action Campaign

Campaign with the aim to prevent the re-election of Donald Trump and defeat Republicans who left behind pragmatic, conservative principles for the right-wing, nationalist ideology known as Trumpism. End the Error created open source political art to be downloaded, altered and shared. The public was invited to submit and share art through multiple social channels.

Utilizing a library of historic political iconography, End the Error aimed to bring attention to alarming changes happening in the United States.

Gill Sans Bold Extra Condensed was chosen to reference Silence = Death, the work by William Olander and the Gran Fury collective. Created by Gran Fury in response to the lack of both awareness and government action regarding the AIDS pandemic, the work emphasizes the consequences of silence – poignant when paralleled with the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects inaction could have.

It was important to build a flexible, scalable campaign that could be distributed and shared across as many channels as possible.

This campaign was an excellent project to lead from vision to end. Not only was I able to follow my passion in civic engagement – while producing thought-provoking art – the project was a huge success. End the Error exceeded all targets across multiple channels, both print and digital.
