IVAW at the G20

This image is from Celebrate People’s History/Iraq Veterans Against the War: Ten Years of Fighting for Peace and Justice, a portfolio that celebrated IVAW’s first ten years and was produced by Justseeds, IVAW, Booklyn, Repetitive Press, and the Civilian Soldier Alliance.

(IVAW is now known as About Face: Veterans Against the War)

This print is based on the IVAW mud stencil action, “We will not sacrifice for your profit. We will not kill for your profit.” at the 2009 G20 Summit in Pittsburgh. Prior to and during the Summit IVAW reached out to the Pennsylvania National Guard, encouraging them to stand down and resist their orders to mobilize for the Summit.
