This print is a part of the Dissenters’ portfolio and booklet, DE-MIL-I-TA-RISE.
Dissenters is a movement organization leading a new generation of young people to reclaim resources from the war industry, reinvest in life-giving institutions, and repair collaborative relationships with the earth and people around the world. They are building local teams of young people across the country to force institutions to divest from war and militarism, and reinvest in what our communities actually need. From campuses to congress, they are building grassroots power to cut off war elites once and for all.
In an effort to lift up this important work, Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative organized the DE-MIL-I-TA-RISE portfolio and booklet for use in Dissenters organizing campaigns, popular education projects, and cultural programming.
Hand-drawn bubble-text states: “REINVEST IN LIFE, DIVEST FROM WAR” above; and below: “WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED TO BE SAFE.” Line-drawn images of a bus, a book and pencil, a house with someone in a wheelchair inside, wind turbines, and smiling children are placed around a white circle with the text inside: “In 2019, the U.S. military cost tax payers $730.2 billion we could’ve invited that money into… millions of jobs; renewable energy; housing; public transport; free college.”
