At the Justseeds retreat last weekend we discussed the importance of our website providing readers with resources/graphics/downloadable posters on current issues/struggles/etc. We will be working diligently through the next year to expand the website to include more of these kinds of resources.
To get things started I will be sharing my newest design celebrating the persistence of organizing in El Salvador through one of a few important organizations there-the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front(FMLN). Though I have many questions about whether an electoral strategy can bring about true transformational change I agree with Roberto Lovato who has noted that they “had ended more than 130 years of oligarchy and military rule over this tiny Central American nation of 7 million.”

A red and white montage of people smiling and celebrating, with hand raised in the air with the “V” for victory, or peace, sign. Others hold a giant FMLN flag. Text above and below states in Spanish, “Farabundo Presente! Que viva el FMLN! Que viva el pueblo Salvadoreño!”
