A vertical screen print style poster in red, yellow and black, featuring the quote by Dom Helder Camara: "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." The edges of the poster show a packed village with small houses, and a road leading to skyscrapers in the far background. A red sun in the upper right shines its long yellow rays across the image.

Originally made as a screen print in 1990, we now offer this thought-provoking poster digitally printed on heavy cover stock.

In these dark, sad, enraging times, we must turn to poetry, to music, to arts in all its manifestations. We must write and cook and dance all while imagining what is possible in radical hope. We must love as we fight, strategize, and organize. The world necessitates beauty and struggle. #resist
