As the GOP threatened to take America over a Fiscal Cliff in late 2012, cuts to Social Security and Medicare became a dangerously real possibility for our nation’s most vulnerable. So MoveOn called upon its members to speak out to President Obama and state Senators, urging them to protect Americans who need it most. For this ad, Art Not War traveled to New Orleans to tell the story of a woman named Miriam, who relied on Social Security and Medicare to care for her mother in the wake of a serious illness.

With just a month to go before the 2012 election, the Courage Campaign wanted to break down the complexities of California ballot Propositions 32 and 30 for voters in a fun and easy-to-understand video. Art Not War helped Bradley Whitford (West Wing, The Cabin in the Woods) and Courage Campaign director, Rick Jacobs, explain why voters should say “no” to 32 (a proposition that would have stopped unions from making political donations while allowing unlimited spending for corporations) and “yes” to 30 (a proposition that would raise $9 billion for public education).

When the spot was finished, it aired on MSNBC, where Bradley appeared to discuss the issues. The good news? California voters heeded Courage Campaign’s advice and, indeed, said no to 32 and yes to 30 at the polls!
