Dan Berger and Joshua Kahn Russell Matzpen A new Celebrate People’s History poster honoring Jewish involvement in anti-colonial struggles. The Israeli Socialist Organization, better known by the name of its publication,Matzpen (Compass), formed in 1962. It was the first organization in Israel founded on principles of anti-Zionism. Its membership joined Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs to resist Israel’s apartheid policies. Matzpen challenged Israeli manifest destiny for twenty-five years, and its legacy continues to animate anti-Zionist organizing within Israel and around the world. The poster was designed by climate and social justice organizer Joshua Kahn Russell and anti-imperialist author Dan Berger. 2 color offset printed poster 11"x17" unsigned/unlimited edition	Justseeds Cooperative Which Side Are You On?: UWM Union Art Gallery: Justseeds exhibition catalog In late February/early March, 2009, Justseeds embarked on a six-day installation project at the Union Art Gallery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Nicolas Lampert Missing: 2.3 Million Americans This is the print that I made for the Justseeds Portfolio Project in honor of Critical Resistance's  10 Year anniversary. It is a graphic that asks us to pay attention to the staggering number of people  locked up in the US and its impact on the community. three color screenprint 12" x 24" heavy duty acid-free paper signed	Anonymous We Arrest Our Fear (Save Mumia) I just stumbled on a small clutch of these posters while cleaning out my files. I don't remember where I originally picked these up, but we wheatpasted a ton of them up around Chicago back in 1997 (and almost got arrested while doing it). I believe they were designed/printed in 1996, and I think Robbie Conal was involved, but I'm unsure if he actually designed this poster. (If you have any more info on this, please let us know!) 2 color offset printed poster 24"x36" unsigned/unnumbered

On the one hand, stylistically, I've been looking at old Works Progress Administration (WPA) posters, particularly their ability to communicate clear and strong ideas without the use of black or any dark trapping color to hold the design together. So many of us contemporary political poster makers revert to dumping easy solid outlines around our images in order to contain and frame them and give an additional graphic punch; I wanted to challenge myself to try to make some images without using this graphic device. In addition, since Obama was elected, a lot of words have flown around about a new WPA, and more money being dumped into the arts. I've heard little about what the content of said new WPA art would be. This is my call to demand that if there is arts funding, it be used to support those most marginalized in our society and to help strengthen worker's organization. I want total liberation, not piecemeal reforms and a better existence for artists while others lose jobs, food and life. 4 color silkscreen print 19"x25" signed/numbered edition of 79
Refugio Solis Nos Vemos en 2010: Zapata y Magón Straight from Mexico, these posters were produced as part of the new Zapatista 2010 Campaign: In 2010 we all become revolutionaries! 2 color screen print 17"x24" on kraft paper unsigned/unnumbered	Roger Peet Who's Next? Before you know it, familiar faces will be lost. Like theReticulated Giraffe, critically endangered in East Africa. Once gone, they will become history, and finally myth. By then maybe we'll finally be alone, which we seem to want so badly. At the very least we'll have a much smaller circle of friends. Hand drawn, hand cut, hand printed. 4-color silkscreen 8"x17"
Bec Young Deeper Than Mechanics Dare BACK IN STOCK! In many community bike shops it is assumed that emotions are left at the door and wrenching is the only process necessary. This print was made in the hopes of inspiring gear heads (or anyone whose emotions resemble a tightly coiled labyrinth of chain or a worn out cog) to take the time to communicate about those sticky issues that plague group dynamics. So repeat this mantra three times while you rebuild your bottom bracket: "purpose is the wrench, trust is the grease."

Lapiztola is a Oaxaca-based collective that produces politically engaged screenprints. Their name is a play on words that combines the Spanish-word for pencil (lapiz) with the word for pistol (pistola). This image combines an image of Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata with the group’s logo, an amorphous pencil-handgun. silkscreen 20 x 25 1/2 printed on a thin cardstock, paper color may slightly vary. unsigned/unnumbered

The numbers are from from Statistics Canada and they speak for themselves. 5 colour silkscreen print 12"x24" unsigned/unnumbered	Nicolas Lampert If Voting Changed Anything BACK IN STOCK! This print was made for the Art of Democracy show and comments on the election by ignoring the hype of two pro-corporate, pro-government, and pro-war candidates and instead considers the logic and the legacy of Emma Goldman and others who envisioned real change and democracy existing outside the realm of the ballot box. 1 color silkscreen 19" x 25" signed/unnumbered
Melanie Cervantes Indigenous Women Defending Land and Life... As individuals, in organizations, as communities or as a people, indigenous women continually prove their strength in the face of threat and adversity. Our responses and actions show that we are not passive victims of oppression but fierce actors in indigenous peoples’ struggle for survival and efforts to live with dignity. We have initiated community-based projects to respond to basic needs of our people. We have formed organizations and networks. We have been at the forefront of numerous actions of indigenous peoples to defend our land, our lives and our livelihood. Full Color Digital Print 11"x17" unsigned/unnumbered	Ben Rubin Emma Goldman The classic is back! One of the early Celebrate People's History posters, Ben Rubin's Emma Goldman was also one of the most popular. After years of being out of print, I've scraped up the cash to do a reprint, so it's finally available again! Emma Goldman, one of the, if not the, most well-known anarchists in the US, is portrayed here as a Queen of Anarchism, with a bomb in one hand and a condom in the other! 2 color offset printed poster 11"x17" unsigned/unlimited edition

In the face of the North American Free Trade Agreement the Zapatistas took up arms against the Mexican government with the aim of taking President Carlos Salinas de Gortari and the PRI out of power to restore legitimacy and stability to Mexico. This poster was created to commemorate the struggle of the Zapatistas and their perseverance to create a world where many worlds fit. 6-color screen print 20x26 acid free, New Leaf heavy weight matte paper signed/numbered edition of 50
