Meet Ruthie, a donkey with a mighty voice, a stubborn sense of justice, and very little patience for anyone who believes women should know their place.
Named with a nod to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Ruthie believes that women deserve the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies, equal pay for equal work, affordable healthcare, safe homes, quality education, access to childcare, and the opportunity to build lives without discrimination or having their rights negotiated away.
She raises her voice for the women who grow our food, teach our children, care for our aging parents, raise families, run businesses, heal the sick, and hold communities together, often while struggling to find the very support they provide so generously to others.
When women are denied opportunity, protection, or the resources they need to thrive, the consequences reach far beyond their individual lives, affecting the children they raise, the families they support, the communities they sustain, and the generations that follow. A society that fails to care for its women ultimately fails to care for itself.
And while Ruthie may be a Democrat by nature, she believes that the rights and dignity of women should never depend on which party holds power.
Created from a single sheet of intricately cut premium cardstock, Ruthie is designed to make an impression well beyond election season. As light passes through her delicate details, she casts an extraordinary shadow onto the wall, giving her presence a second life and reminding us that the things we stand for can reach further than we imagine.
Elections come and go, but the work of protecting our freedoms continues, and Ruthie intends to keep making noise for as long as there is something worth fighting for.
Let your voice be heard.

“I create art with the hope that it will live on the walls of homes where children grow up, becoming part of the everyday landscape of their lives and quietly shaping the way they see the world. Long before they fully understand the meaning behind the images, I hope they begin to absorb the values they represent: empathy, courage, compassion, and the belief that their voices matter. That these ideas become so deeply ingrained in who they are that standing up for others, questioning injustice, and imagining a world where everyone has the freedom and opportunity to thrive will feel as natural as speaking their own minds.”
