# Design-Forward Immigration Advocacy Anjela Freyja Curates Flags & Branding Materials for ACLU By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-07-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immigration-advocacy References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/82037053/Flags-of-America) & [anjelafreyja.studio](http://www.anjelafreyja.studio) Immigration advocacy is important as many of those who move countries are doing so "out of desperation and the necessity for health and refuge." The [United States](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-by-vanity) has been a key example that highlights the need for immigration advocacy, as a number of controversial political decisions have been made with regard to it. As a result, organizations like The Americal Civil Liberties Union arise who seek to "defend the rights of immigrant families." Many activist and environmentalist groups have been looking to design-forward solutions to capture the attention of the public and propel the message forward. Montreal-based Art Director Anjela Freyja is at the helm of the well-curated immigration advocacy message as she facilitates a series of [impactful flags and materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-protests) that motivate individuals to donate to [ACLU](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/community-to-the-people). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Design-forward Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in developing innovative design solutions that capture the attention of the public and propel advocacy messages forward. - **Immigration Advocacy:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation arise in creating new approaches and platforms for advocating and defending the rights of immigrant families. - **Activist Branding:** Disruptive innovation opportunities can be found in leveraging branding and visual communication strategies to raise awareness and drive support for important causes like immigration advocacy. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Graphic Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in utilizing graphic design to create impactful visuals and materials that motivate individuals to take action in support of immigration advocacy. - **Nonprofit Organizations:** Disruptive innovation opportunities can be explored within nonprofit organizations to develop new strategies and approaches for advocating and defending the rights of immigrant families. - **Social Activism:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in leveraging social activism to drive awareness and support for causes like immigration advocacy, using creative and impactful means. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Immigration System-Inspired Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passport-series.md) - [Home-Defining Artistic Flags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-is-temporary.md) - [USA-Made Custom Flags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-flag.md) - [Advocate-Themed Cannabis Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/best-blnz.md) - [AAPI-Honoring Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upon-further-reflection.md) - [Racism-Combatting Handbag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antiracist-handbag.md) - [Artful Activism Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowflake-exhibition.md) - [Emergency Refuge Shelter Replicas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emergency-refuge-shelter.md) - [Refugee-Informed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-life-jackets-installation.md)
