#SayHerName campaign banner features 4 portrait illustrations of women kill

African American Policy Forum

#SayHerName is a social movement that seeks to raise awareness for Black women who are victims of police brutality and anti-Black violence in the United States. It was started by the brilliant Kimberlé Crenshaw from the African American Policy Forum (AAPF).
We were tasked with:
  • Campaign strategy & development for #SayHerName, #TruthBeTold and Critical Race Theory Summer Camp.
  • Illustrations of some of the women who were murdered by police.
  • A map highlighting police brutalit.y
  • Annual reports.
  • Powerpoint Presentations.
  • On-going social media pieces.

These are selected materials.

Social Justice Design

  • We worked with the families of victims to ensure that the illustrations accurately represented and honored the women in the #SayHerName campaign.
  • With the application of a social justice lens, we made sure not to perpetuate further trauma through the design various materials.
  • We carefully selected imagery and elements that were empowering while elevating the brand.

#TRUTHBETOLD

People were rightfully outraged about Trump’s refusal to condemn white supremacist groups, with this campaign, we called for a similar outrage about Trump’s attempt to away the ability to name and fight white supremacy. Saying that anti-racism is racist has a long history (and needs to be dismantled), as it it portrayed in this campaign.

We created several social media pieces to tackle different parts of this campaign.

#TruthBeTold campaign main image features 18 pictures of historical icons: Ida B. Wells, Martin Luther King Jr., Fannie Lou Hamer, James Baldwin, Bayard Rustin, Harvey Milk, Shirley Chisholm, Thurgood Marhsall, Muhammad Ali, Diane Nash, Derrick Bell, Gloria Steinem, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Toni Morrison, Angela Davis, Dolores Huerta, Colin Kaepernick and Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Gaaze & Opal Tometi on the same picture
