Introducing: We Can Do It!

Introducing: We Can Do It!

The iconic "We Can Do It" poster of the 1940's is one of the most famous posters of the last 100 years. Initially commissioned by Westinghouse Electric to motivate its own workers during World War II, the poster was reclaimed by the feminist movement in the 1980's, with Rosie The Riveter becoming the poster child for the idea of women in the work place. 

With issues like equal pay for women, paid family leave, and the fight for a $15 minimum wage so current today, we're excited to launch a new series of Rosie-The-Riveter-inspired designs that depict and celebrate the workers of today (women and men alike) who keep the country running, and make America great. 

Contribute your own design, or buy your favorite posters to support the artists.

The campaign launched on June 14th with an exhibition at the White House's United State of Women Conference in Washington, DC.

 

On June 16, 2016, we displayed the collection at the Department of Labor for the Worker Voice Summit.

We'd love to tell you about Annie Riker, an artist out of Asheville, North Carolina. She's a surface designer and illustrator who over the years has contributed her national park posters and sticker designs to CAN. This spring her Appalachian Trail design inspired two See America product launches, Merrell trail running shoes and Wyeth hats! Annie is a former Creative Director for the NPCA and we're so grateful that her national park expertise, love of nature, creative spirit and illustration skills landed her in our community where her work can do so much good. You can see Annie's designs online at CAN and be sure to check out her Merrell trail running shoes and Wyeth hat project, too, all helping support Earthjustice organization. We know you'll enjoy reading all about Annie!

One part inspiration and one part commemoration, the new shoe collection helps support Earthjustice organization. Integral to this project are the amazing poster designs from artists Brooke FischerJonathan Scheele and Annie Riker, and we hope you really love reading the story of how this project came to be.
