A black and white drawing of a crowd of people sitting in a road, blocking a large flatbed truck carrying a military vehicle. Large text above states, “SHUT DOWN THE WAR MACHINE.” In small text below, it says, “From 2006 to 2009, the activist group Port Militarization Resistance — including members of Iraq Veterans Against the War — blockaded the Washington ports of Olympia and Tacoma. The actions prevented the loading of Stryker vehicles, various munitions, and equipment from Joint Base Lewis-McChord headed for Iraq and Afghanistan.”
