LED Truck Billboards
Three billboard trucks circled the courthouse. The DEATH BY DENIALS truck was sponsored by PoPNYC
The JURY NULLIFICATION truck was a collaboration between PoPNYC and Citizens for Jury Empowerment
The use of billboard trucks during rallies and protests allows us to push back against media narratives manufactured by corporate interests. On Feb 21st, three billboard trucks circled the courthouse during Luigi Mangione’s court appearance. Two of them were paid for by PoPNYC.
From the Courthouse to Times Square
After circling the courthouse until around 3:30pm, the trucks went on a tour of NYC, maximizing visibility by hitting popular hotspots, including Times Square.
Making the Messaging
Initial designs for both trucks were rendered as still images. For the DEATH BY DENIALS truck, the QR code links back to PoPNYC's healthcare page where viewers can read in-depth information about denial rates as well as learn the personal stories of those featured on the trucks.
For the JURY NULLIFICATION truck, PoPNYC collaborated with Citizens for Jury Empowerment. The initial still image design was rendered by a PoPNYC volunteer into a video.
Help Us Go Bigger!
The mainstream media is owned by multi-billion-dollar conglomerates with endlessly deep pockets to push their manufactured narratives. We need your help to continue to get our message out. Our goal is to have billboard trucks at every court appearance. We are also looking into other messaging options—traditional billboards, murals, posters, stickers. But we need your help!
