AIGA’s Get Out the Vote campaign invites designers to create nonpartisan posters and videos that inspire the American public to participate in the electoral process and vote in the 2012 general election.

Design for Democracy applies design tools to increase civic participation by making interactions between the U.S. government and its citizens clear.

Since 2000, Design for Democracy's ballot and election design project has worked to make voting easier and more accurate for all U.S. citizens.

As North Carolina prepared to vote on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in 2012, New Kind partnered with the Coalition to Protect All North Carolina Families to fight back to develop and roll out a campaign against the Amendment that featured open source principles and community-focused design.

Each month during the school year, AIGA publishes an exclusive newsletter just for members who are students, faculty or recent graduates of undergraduate and graduate design programs.
