Solidarity with all liberatory workers this #MayDay, epecially those resisting colonial oppression and wars around the world. #FreePalestine #FreeCongo #FreeSudan #FreeYemen #FreeLenabon #FreeUkraine #ResistTrumpism #PeoplesMovement
Black and white poster in a DIY-zine graphic style from 1971. All-caps header at the top reads MAYDAY!, connected to a subheading in the middle 'If the government does't stop the war, we will stop the government. The bottom third of the image is a group of protestors charging together forwards towards the right of the page, fists raised and mouths open with expressions of defiance and social outrage.

Currently finalising a book chapter I'm writing on #Tricontinental library materials & workshops at @sussexlibrary.bsky.social @ids.ac.uk. Found this amazing poster produced in 1967 by an unknown artist for #OSPAAAL. Resonates as much now as it did then. Source: www.docspopuli.org/CubaWebCat/d...
Poster features a red map of the USA filled with a black line drawing of a stylised face (presumably African male) and his horizontal arm holding a vertical gun pointing upwards. Bleow this image is white, red and yellow block capitals text reading: WE WILL DESTROY IMPERIALISM FROM THE OUTSIDE - THEY WILL DESTROY IT FROM THE INSIDE. Beneath this is a thumbnail of the OSPAAAL Logo and white text reading: "August 19th Day of International Solidarity with the African-American People."
