VOTE! - Poster of the Week

In honor of Election Day happening in the U.S. this Tuesday, CSPG has selected posters from countries around the world that were made to inspire their citizens to vote. Many of our posters come from countries that voted to prevent or assert independence from fascism and imperialism. In every country shown, people have died for the right to vote freely. These posters remind us that democracy should never be taken for granted. The best way to protect democracy is to participate in it.

Please enjoy, reflect, and GO VOTE!
