As part of the multi-faceted promotional campaign for the Amazon Prime Video documentary ALL IN: THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY (dir. Liz Garbus and Lisa Cortés), ICU Art – In Creative Unity, along with Chuck Agency, produced a series of murals encouraging voter participation.
“These murals, designed by Andrea Pippins, were rendered by our artists, and painted in key cities across the United States, by our artist teams. We stand in solidarity with Stacey Abrams and all working to end voter suppression”

Also included as part of the effort to encourage voting, Amazon sponsored a fifty-city voter registration effort by bus. ALL IN: THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY examines the issue of voter suppression in the US. The film interweaves personal experiences with activism and historical insight to expose a problem that has corrupted our country since Black Americans first attempted to exercise their voting rights. Featuring Stacey Abrams, the 2018 candidate for Governor of Georgia who lost due to widespread cancellation of voter registrations, the film offers an insider’s look into the barriers that prevent participation in the electoral process.
