A US based national art project created to raise awareness for young voters about the significance of participating in our democratic process and to recognize their role in shaping the future of our nation.
We were astounded to learn that Tennessee, Oklahoma, Arkansas, & West Virginia had the lowest voter turnout in 2020!
And further concerned about the lack of registered voters aged 18 - 24.
According to a national poll released in December of 2023, by the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School indicates that among 18-to-29-year-olds are less likely to vote in the 2024 election.
Further, the same study shares some interesting stats around education and voter preparation.
We hope whether you are an artist, creative, or a US voter that you will consider helping further our efforts in raising awareness around voter participation among the youth population. Below are just a few ways you can help support this important cause.
Artists & Creatives
1. Design your own art, ‘I voted’ sticker, compose a song, poem, or your preferred creative outlet that supports the goal and the cause.2. Share it on Instagram with the hashtag #letssticktogetherproject
and tag us @letssticktogetherproject and your local / state election boards
Other Ways to Help
Organize events in your community to help people register to vote. Set up booths at local events, schools, or community centers where people can easily register.
Talk to your friends, family, and colleagues about the importance of voting and encourage them to register and vote.
Donate your time or resources to organizations working to protect and expand voting rights, such as the League of Women Voters or the ACLU.
Make sure you are registered to vote and actively participate in elections. Your actions can inspire others to do the same.

The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence - it is to act with yesterday’s logic. - Peter Drucker
These are just some things that we have stumbled upon that we believe are smart concepts, practices, or ideas. It's not a complete list, but if you think there should be something on here* that we am not aware of please send us an email.*This is not about raising money for donations but to bring awareness to ideas, concepts, and solutions that continue to support the evolution of our democracy. You don't have to solve all of the problems, just one at a time, so pick whichever is the highest priority to you.
The Let's Stick Together Project is created and organized by artist BCreative. As an artist and advocate for civic engagement and the importance of voting, BCreative has embarked on a personal endeavor to collect voting stickers from every state across the nation. Through this project, they aim to raise awareness about the significance of participating in our democratic process and exercising our right to vote.Voting stickers serve as tangible symbols of civic duty and democratic participation. They not only signify an individual's contribution to shaping our collective future but also serve as a reminder of the power and privilege we hold as citizens of a democratic society.By compiling a comprehensive collection of voting stickers from each state, they hope to foster conversations about the importance of voting, particularly among young people and marginalized communities.Through sharing these stickers (via Instagram @letssticktogetherproject) and the stories behind them, they aim to inspire others to engage in the electoral process and to recognize their role in shaping the future of our nation.Ultimately, they hope to use these stickers to create a piece of art that fosters awareness. They believe that by coming together and celebrating our shared commitment to democracy, we can create a more informed, engaged, and empowered electorate.As an artist, they realize the power of our voice and creations and hopes that you will consider participating in this endeavor. Not only would it contribute to the success of their project but also to the broader goal of promoting younger voter participation and civic engagement. They hope that you will find meaningful ways to join this important cause.
