Merch and Graphics

I was on a team that made social media, web, and merch graphics for Elizabeth Warren’s campaign.

When Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made his infamous remark "Nevertheless, she persisted" during his comments following a vote to remove Warren from the chamber, I got a call. Those words became a feminist war cry.

In true Warren style, we instantly added them to T-shirts, bumper stickers, social media graphics, and anything else. When women are told to be quiet, it just makes us louder.

"She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted"

Historic moments move with a quickness and we understood the assignment. It was time to commemorate those words.

Many women connected with the sentiment, seeing parallels in their own experiences of being shushed, ignored, or underestimated by men in professional or personal settings.

A historic Moment

It became a symbol of unity and a call to action for women's rights and breaking down barriers.
