For movements to be successful there has to be a community of supporters who work to accomplish the goals of the movement. To help get recognition in the public and gain support people use posters, pamphlets, and now social media posts to spread awareness and information. For this activity you can explore some of the visuals created for the suffrage movement and then create your own to address a current voting issue or celebrate the history of voting. Check out the Take Action! page to learn more about current voting issues.
