United We Vote puts political material in the hands of the people by creating posters that are free to download and edit as you please.

"Last June, the European elections took place. The vote sees residents of the 27 countries who are part of the EU have their say on who will represent them in the European parliament. But, as votes go, it’s not one with a particularly high turnout. This fact is one that concerned the photographer Clara Nebeling, especially with how much politics has changed across Europe in the last five years, and the worrying rise of the far right. And so, Clara collaborated with other photographers – 27 across the 27 countries in the EU, to be exact – to create a series of free-to-download posters pushing people to organise, and get their slips into the ballot box.

"United We Vote is a continuation of a similar project Clara initiated for the last European elections in 2019. She was compelled to start something after learning of how low youth turnout was in the elections, and she put this in part down to how much imagery in the political sphere was directed at older demographics. Alongside some of her creative colleagues, Clara created a campaign that aimed to get young people hanging up posters in their local community. This time round, while working with a similar model, Clara wanted the project to target everyone, trying to create force in numbers against extreme views." - Olivia Hingley
