Studio Number One is proud to stand with hundreds of U.S. businesses allowing employees the opportunity to take #TimeToVote.

Time to Vote is a nonpartisan movement led by the business community to contribute to the cultural shift needed to increase voter participation in our country's elections.

Voting is the lifeblood of democracy and workers shouldn't have to choose between earning a paycheck and voting. That's why in 2016, Studio Number One's Shepard and Amanda Fairey founded #MakeAmericaSmartAgain (MASA) — a nonpartisan voter education initiative that empowers citizens to stay engaged, know the facts, and hold each other to higher standards. MASA is a call to action for all Americans to be more informed and involved in our democracy.

We're honored to join the likes of Burton, Fuse Media, Obey Clothing, Obey Giant Art, Levi Strauss & Co., New Belgium Brewing, Patagonia, Sonos, Subliminal Projects, and Timberland in encouraging employees to exercise their right and time to vote. Check out the entire list of 350+ participating companies (and growing!) here.

Together, we hope to achieve greater participation in our country's elections.

National Voter Registration Day was created in 2012 to help build awareness to the large number of people who were not registered to vote and to take an initiative in actively getting people to register to vote.

With the 2020 elections and primaries coming up, let's make sure everyone we know that is eligible is registered to vote. See below for some voter resources to get you ready for the next election.

• #MakeAmericaSmartAgain is our initiative to empower one another about making our voices heard.

• nationalvoterregistrationday.org is the official site for National Voter Registration Day.

• Head Count's Voter Info Hub has up-to-date information regarding registration date deadlines and your state's elections.

• iwillvote.com allows you to check if you are registered to vote

Registering to vote honestly takes only two minutes and is a simple as 1-2-3. Head over to #MakeAmericaSmartAgain to get started! The power is in our hands now!

Studio Number One is happy to share our recent feature on Busy Beaver Button Co.'s blog!

SNO and Busy Beaver have worked closely together for the Make America Smart Again voting initiative and a Women's March UNITE pack to benefit Planned Parenthood. Most recently, they hosted a button-making station at SNO's Women's March Hang this past January as well!

The article highlights how the philosophy of phenomenology inspired SNO's creative director Shepard Fairey and SNO's mission to change the way people experience media and the urban landscape. "Advertising means nothing if a brand's overarching story isn't strongly communicated at every level."

We had a great time at the opening of our art show, Crafted in LA last week. Special thanks to Angel City Brewery for having us and congrats on the launch of the new cans!

We also want to thank non-profit organizations Surfrider LA, Non-Toxic Revolution, and the League of Women Voters for participating at the event and educating us about your causes.

And finally, we appreciate all of the support from our family, friends, clients, and fans for joining the celebration! If you missed it, the exhibition is up at Angel City Brewery in Arts District, DTLA until April 1st. You'll be able to see a collection of art by Studio Number One that was created for various marches, social and environmental causes, our voting initiative #MakeAmericaSmartAgain, and so much more.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Make America Smart Again Midterms Ballot Party at Angel City Brewery!

Additionally, other wonderful partners provided giveaways and raffle prizes including Obey Giant, Obey Clothing, Angel City Brewery. I'm Voting, Never Made, Winsome, Spare Room Hollywood, Amoeba Music, Resident LA, and Big Softee.

Your voice is your power!
