With the intention of empowering young voters aged 18–36 ahead of the 2020 US presidential election, Project 270 enlisted nearly 70 established and emerging street artists to create posters encouraging viewers to “Get Out the Vote.” Every individual poster was impressed with a “postmark,” representing each of the 50 states, plus Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, and major American cities. Project 270 comprised 65 unique posters, and in addition to their physical copies, the compelling images were widely shared through social media channels. This book serves as a comprehensive document, capturing the fervor and dedication of those involved. It stands as a testament to the passion, creativity, and collective endeavor that fueled Project 270, emphasizing the urgency of civic participation.
