Over the last two years, Barack Obama inspired us to participate in American politics. Today, as we celebrate President-elect Obama’s historic victory, we are proud to follow his example of grassroots organizing.

Since December, we at Hyperakt, a small, independent design studio based in Brooklyn, NY, have been raising funds for a campaign to publicly congratulate president-elect Obama through outdoor advertising media in New York City. We have secured a campaign which will place 1000 POSTERS AT OVER 75 NYC LOCATIONS! The posters will begin appearing on January 10th and will remain up until January 27th.

The total cost of this campaign, which will be seen and documented by millions, is $8,000. While we have raised more than half of this amount already, small contributions can help us cover the rest. Whether you pitch in $5, $50 or $500, every little bit counts. Your name will be published among the list of contributors on BillboardForThePeople.com regardless of the amount of your donation.

At Hyperakt, we have been creating artwork in support of Barack Obama for over a year. We have made posters available for free download through our blog and exhibited artwork at exhibitions in Denver, and Geneva, Switzerland. Our Artwork will be on display again at the Manifest Hope DC exhibit the weekend before the inauguration.

Barack Obama ran a different kind of campaign – a campaign for the people. This is an opportunity for us to give him a different kind of congratulations. Make your contribution now and share this site with friends!

Thank You,
