Our friends from AgitArte are presenting at the Facing Race conference this weekend in Detroit, and the site for the conference, the COBO Center, has forced them to remove this poster from display. If it’s causing that kind of reaction, it’s doing what a poster should, so we thought it might be useful to get it into more people’s hands, so print this out and put it up!
From the AgitArte website:
We are being killed by an embargo of aid which is causing death and starvation on our people. We don’t need a military occupation and operation, we can build our New Puerto Rico. We don’t need the federal government and Its white supremacist and imperialistic practices of economic extraction and exploitation of our peoples and resources. The people of Puerto Rico and the diaspora who are organizing for survival are the key to our future as an independent nation, free from capitalism and it’s current incarnation of disaster neoliberalism which is killing poor and working Caribbean folk.
A brown hand raises the middle finger at an army-green helicopter that flies above. A destroyed electrical pole with a mess of wires and a dangling transformer is also featured. Cut-out style text states: “FUCK FEMA AND THE U.S. MILITARY. RELEASE THE AID.”
