Most award speeches are not memorable. This one was. Actress/comedian Hannah Einbinder said, ‘Go Birds, Fuck ICE and Free Palestine’ after winning a 2025 Emmy for ‘Hacks.’ She voiced what many were thinking. We are tired of all the injustice in the world and we want change.
At first listen, I thought she was a birdwatcher (Go Birds), against ICE and into global solidarity. Later, I learned it was “Go Philadelphia Eagles” which is still kind of cool to combine with what else she said. I still illustrated it from the point of view of bird watching.
This print design was inspired by a Milwaukee music flier for an DJ event at the Wiggle Room with Juan Miguel Martinez (a Voces ally and Milwaukee County Board Supervisor for the 12th District.) The flier for Juan was designed by Milwaukee-artist Brandon Reyes and when I first saw it, I immediately thought of the Hannah Einbinder quote. Don’t ask me why. I am not even versed in popular culture or TV shows. Any rate, I am grateful to Brandon for giving me the go ahead to riff off his flier for this image.
