A classic poster from the War Resisters League vaults. A child's drawing is accompanied by the text: "It'll be a great day when our day care centers have all the money they need and the navy has to hold a bake sale to buy battleships."

There is a still a poster in circulation with this text on it and a saturated photo of kids playing on a playground dome, but this poster seems much more scarce. It was printed at Tower Press, I suspect in the early 1980s. The International Institute for Social History in Amsterdam has a copy of this poster, which is undated, but they attribute the design to B. K. Guillet, the name written in the top left corner. I am still unsure if that means Guillet is the illustrator as well.

Seattle’s International Working Women’s Day for Palestine and Beyond

“We stand in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings in Gaza and those among our community who are directly and indirectly affected by the current war and genocide by the Israeli settler-colonial regime. Passive observation of the horrors of bombings, genocide, and prolonged apartheid is not our way. We must rise and firmly proclaim that Palestinian Liberation is a Feminist Imperative.” – Feminists for Jina Seattle
