Lease terms…

Justin Poppe

Inspired by multiethnic, multiracial, intersectional activism of the Poor People’s Campaign in 1968, which brought over 50,000 protesters to D.C. to demand an end to poverty, librarians and artists at the DC Public Library have created a portfolio of prints exploring the urgent issues of 1968 and 2018 from a local perspective.

 

A comic book-style black and white scene of a factory or oil refinery belching out a cloud of smoke. A pile of trash sits in front. In the foreground, a person has converted into a skeleton as they sign a large contract. A rainbow roll gradient colors the foreground and part of the smokey sky. The contract is signed by “Low Income Resident.” Poster is signed by Justin Poppe, 2018.

Seattle’s International Working Women’s Day for Palestine and Beyond

March 12, 2024

“We stand in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings in Gaza and those among our community who are directly and indirectly affected by the current war and genocide by the Israeli settler-colonial regime. Passive observation of the horrors of bombings, genocide, and prolonged apartheid is not our way. We must rise and firmly proclaim that Palestinian Liberation is a Feminist Imperative.” – Feminists for Jina Seattle
