Prior to the 2020 presidential election, People For the American Way ran the “Enough of Trump” campaign. Aiming to motivate people across the country, in key Electoral College swing states, to get out of the vote and defeat Trump, the campaign involved original artwork from leading American artists Carrie Mae Weems, Shepard Fairey, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Jeffrey Gibson, Mark Thomas Gibson, Deborah Kass, Christine Sun Kim, Takaaki Matsumoto, Amalia Mesa-Bains, Beverly McIver, Sam Messer, Ed Ruscha, Alyson Shotz, Hank Willis Thomas and Cayetano Valenzuela.

The issues driving the artists’ response to Trump included his inflaming of racial tensions, encouraging violent and deadly policing, and his failure to address the Covid-19 pandemic. The images were displayed on billboards across key counties in swing states, printed on face masks, and as posters on store windows shuttered by Covid. The website of the campaign also featured a gallery of downloadable images of the artworks, links to volunteer, and resources for getting registered to vote.
