I have chosen to support Operation Honey Bee in spreading awareness to save the bees. Honey bees seem like a very small part of our lives, but one third of our food is dependent on the pollination of fruits, nuts and vegetables. They are crucial to sustain our crops and keep our earth healthy. Help me spread awareness and create habitat for our bees!

Bee the change you wish to see in the world. Help fight to save the bees.

Transportation Alternatives is a non-profit organization dedicated to reclaiming New York City streets from the automobile and to advocate for better walking, biking, and public transit for all New Yorkers. For nearly 50 years, TA has led the movement in creating safe and equitable streets in New York City. TA uses a combination of neighborhood-level grassroots organizing and citywide advocacy to push for changes that transform our city streets for the better.

I chose Transportation Alternatives as my organization to represent because New York City is my home. Everyday I either walk, bike, or take public transit to get to where I need to be. On the rare occasions that I drive within the city, I can say with 100% certainty that it has always been stressful. Even if you somehow avoid traffic - good luck finding a parking spot.

The concept behind my poster is ‘Streets for People’. As I mentioned before, as a New Yorker we all get frustrated at automobiles (even if you’re the one driving). Currently, our streets are designed to get from point A to point B and as programs like ‘Open Streets’ have shown, isn’t it better when we have more space to relax and enjoy together? If I can describe New York in one sentence, it’s this: “New York City is for and of the people.” I think it’s about time our streets reflect that as well.

My name is Savannah Monaco, I’m a Graphic Design major at Pratt Institute.

I chose to represent the ASPCA for my Poster for a Cause, “Adopt Don’t Shop”. The ASPCA is a non-profit organization that aims to prevent animal cruelty. My poster is designed to bring awareness to pet adoption. Pet adoption reduces overcrowding in animal shelters, reduces euthanizing shelter animals, and reduces the amount of puppy mills. When designing my poster, I wanted to portray an emotional message to the viewers and give a perspective on the animals in the shelters. According to the ASPCA, 6.5 million animals enter shelters each year and 1.5 million of those animals are euthanized each year.

Save the Whales was founded in 1977 when Maris Sidenstecker was 14 years old, and focuses on educating the public, especially children, about marine mammals and the fragile ocean environment.

Save the Whales believes children, the future of the planet, need to be empowered and know that their actions can promote change. Education is the key to saving whales, oceans, and ourselves.

Many people believe that whales have been protected by the 1986 worldwide ban on whaling.

Don't believe it.

Killings, captures, bombings, and pollution continue to threaten these peaceful creatures. We invite you to become a member of Save The Whales, a widely-admired nonprofit organization that has been working tirelessly to protect marine life for over 40 years.

Your support enables Save the Whales to continue their valuable work to protect marine mammals.

My ‘Fix your heart’ poster is based on the topic of mental health. The organization I selected is called BetterHelp. It is the largest therapy platform in the world. In this poster, the broken heart represents the people who need therapy. The broken heart is being held closed by using green thread lines. These green lines are a kind of symbol for therapy. I hope this poster can give the people who need mental help a guide and the courage to seek help.

It is critical to lay a good foundation for a child's physical and mental health, Stress has a negative impact on cognitive development. Eating nutritious food gives children the boost they need to get through the day-to-day of classroom learning.

The Lunchbox fund is an organisation that was created in South Africa to provide meals for children who are at risk of food insecurity. This fund was established to give children a chance to thrive while they are in preparation for the formal education that will lead to a successful future.

We must provide the next generation the security they need to grow into amazing people without having to worry about where their next meal will come from.
