'All of nature needs a habitable planet, so we’re giving nature a voice through this campaign.”

"Flora and Fauna joined the Democrats’ reinvigorated 2024 presidential campaign when a team of creative professionals from Portland, OR, launched 'Creatures for Kamala,' a grassroots effort designed to energize voters around Vice President Harris. 

“'We asked ourselves: Who benefits if Kamala is elected president?' said Joshua Berger, chief design officer of Creatures for Kamala. 'The answer is every living thing. All of nature needs a habitable planet, so we’re giving nature a voice through this campaign.'

"The group is offering a selection of free downloadable artwork that features a wide variety of nature’s own showing their support for Kamala, starting with birds, trees, fish and butterflies. New artwork for everything from buttons to lawn signs, in both English and Spanish, will be released between now and Election Day (Nov. 5)." - Steven Heller
