Posters for a Green New Deal: 50 Removable Posters to Inspire Change

by Creative Action Network

"The Green New Deal is the most exciting idea in American politics for decades––and as theses powerful posters make clear, it’s grabbed the attention not just of policy wonks but of artists who can translate these ideas into images that move us.”––Bill McKibben, bestselling author of Deep Economy
 
Posters with a purpose. A clarion call for our time, the Green New Deal is a bold and far-reaching legislative plan to fight climate change, create millions of good-paying jobs, promote economic and racial equality, and so much more. In its ambition, it’s a vision that mirrors President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, which helped pull the country out of the Great Depression. And just as WPA artists mustered support for the New Deal with their work, here are 50 powerful posters to champion the Green New Deal. The posters are original, colorful, and visually striking, with text on the back that explains each issue and how the Green New Deal seeks to address it. Perforated pages make them easy to tear out and hang or use as signs at marches and demonstrations, because it’s not just a book to flip through. Climate change affects the air we breath, the water we drink, the food we eat, the places we call home, and the people we love. And the time to act on it is now.

Recall the powerful message of Depression Era New Deal posters that exhorted our grandparent’s generation to better their lives through hard work, smart choices and protection of our environment. This collection of modern Green New Deal posters does the same, sending a message calling for systemic change to save the planet while there’s still time, all the while improving our quality of life. Designed to be removable posters for display, I hardly have the heart to do so. But the art herein screams to be put to work conveying these important messages: fight for clean air, water, and oceans; transition to clean renewable energy, environmental justice, climate protection, sustainable and clean transportation, etc.

Great summary of the proposed legislation and imaginative renderings of the potential results of such legislation. I plan to award the posters to students who most impact-fully assist with our 2023 Earth Day campus clean up. I believe the creative images will serve as reminders for people to take green action personally and politically.
