From Colombia to Palestine Care Package

Justseeds Collaboration
The uprisings in Colombia, in the middle of a pandemic, have shown us that the government is the virus. Protests started after a tax reform bill was passed until eventually it was withdrawn. But that was just the tip of the iceberg, the government’s response in the form of police brutality, has continued to spark the demonstrations. 
Over 7000 miles away, Palestine is under attack, and Palestinians continue to be violently displaced from their ancestral land by Israel’s settler colonialism. The struggle continues and so does our solidarity!
Las protestas en Colombia, en medio de una pandemia, nos han enseñado que el gobierno es el verdadero virus. Las protestas empezaron después de la propuesta de la reforma tributaria que al final fue pospuesta. Pero eso sólo fue la gota que derramó el vaso y la respuesta gubernamental con brutalidad policial, ha seguido avivando el fuego de la protesta. A más de 33,000 kilómetros, Palestina está bajo ataque y lxs palestinxs continúan siendo violentamente desplazadxs de sus tierras ancestrales por el colonialismo de ocupación de Israel. La lucha continua así como nuestra solidaridad.
¡La minga resiste! ¡Viva Palestina libre! 

 

A bird flies upward with a flower (or a lit match) in its beak. Olive branches frame it and the text: “LIBERACION AHORA” is wrapped above in an oval shape. More text below states: “UNITED AGAINST U.S. IMPERIALISM, de Colombia a Palestine.”

 

Three flags are lifted above a crowd of raised fists. The first is the Palestinian flag with red triangle, and bands of black, white, and green. The second flag states:”FREE,” and the third says: “PALESTINE.”

 

Against a backdrop of the black and white pattern of a keffiyeh, the bold red text states: DEFEND JERUSALEM.  Green text below is written in Arabic.

 

Against a backdrop of the black and white pattern of a keffiyeh, the bold red text states: WE WILL NOT LEAVE.  Green text below is written in Arabic.

 

Against a backdrop of the black and white pattern of a keffiyeh, the bold red text states: YOU SHALL NOT PASS.  Green text below is written in Arabic.

 

Black bold text states: “FREE PALESTINE”.  Below are delicate line drawings of three flowers, perhaps the Palestinian Poppy.

 

A raised fist with brown skin arises out of green rolling hills. Lightening bolts are grasped in the hand against a large yellow moon. Purple clouds frame the word “SOLIDARIDAD”, and “CON COLOMBIA”, is written in red below.

 

The text, “Solidarity with Palestine,” frames a scene of a man in a wheelchair. He is launching a slingshot amidst a backdrop of scattered papers and a large plume of smoke. A large sun sets behind the clouds of smoke.

 

Large text above states: “ZIONISTS FUCK OFF”. A person stares out at us from behind the keffiyeh wrapped around their face. Olive branches adorn each side of them. Text below states: “Save Sheikh Jarrah. FREE PALESTINE” and is framed by two flowers, perhaps the Palestinian Poppy. 

 

A photograph of large smoke plumes in red and black is the backdrop for the words, handwritten in white: “Gaza, mon amour.”

 

A linocut style face looks out at the viewer. Their head is wrapped in a keffiyeh, and they have appeared out of the smoke and flames of two doves. The doves morph into a hand, but also into flames, and the Palestinian flag. Text in green below states: “FREE PALESTINE”, and in red: “DIGNIDAD – JUSTICIA – MEMORIA.”
