Kamala Harris’ Rallying Cry Inspires Electrifying New Street Art

New street art in New York City celebrates Kamala Harris.
A portrait of the vice president and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee — amid lightning bolts and the American flag — appears above the word “Forward” in illustrator and street artist Jacob Thomas’ image that was wheat pasted around Brooklyn and lower Manhattan at the weekend.
“I was imagining the jolt of energy Harris brought to the Democratic party when she took over,” Thomas told HuffPost. “In my mind I was seeing lightning strike the flag and causing the stripes to vibrate with energy.”
Harris’ recent campaign rally cry that “We’re not going back” was an inspiration for the “Forward” caption, he explained.
“This reflects the belief that under (former president and GOP nominee) Donald Trump’s leadership, the country’s progress would regress, while under Harris’s leadership, our nation would continue to advance forward, leveraging the strength of diverse perspectives,” he said.
