Sanna designed a poster for the “Hot Girls Vote” campaign, redefining the idea of a “Hot Girl” as someone who uses their voice and vote to drive positive change in their community. This bold visual serves as a key element in the campaign’s promotional materials, aimed at empowering voters and inspiring civic engagement.
This poster series delivers a powerful message: “If your organizing isn’t intersectional, it isn’t organizing.” It highlights the essential connections between climate justice, economic justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, and maternal health, asserting that abortion access is fundamental for all. The designs emphasize the importance of inclusive movements that recognize the overlapping struggles impacting marginalized communities, promoting a unified call for reproductive justice and systemic change.
