Bans Off Our Bodies
Bans Off Our Bodies was started by Planned Parenthood in 2019 in response to abortion bans sweeping across the country. We needed a campaign that felt like it could carry a movement so we opted for strong protest inspired photography and hard edged megaphone shapes that could be used as an amplified rallying cry. Bans Off has grown into a cultural movement that has appeared everywhere from rallies in the streets, music festivals, late night tv and news programs, and social media.

National day of action
With the impending case at the Supreme Court that would end up deciding the fall of Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood partnered with MoveOn, UltraViolet and Women’s March to organize the May 14th Day of Action in 2022. In order to show up in solidarity, we had to reimagine our color palette to be inclusive of three partner orgs which was a challenge that resulted in a strong brand iteration.
