My bad! That is something I'm supposed to do for ever post I make for Ricardo. I'll do better about this! -Leon for RLM
I vividly remember hearing this quote for the first time in like, middle school, playing Civ 4. A timeless encapsulation of our very aggravating struggle, and this rendition is gorgeous! I'll be ordering one.
Food is holy. It is a gift from and to Kṛṣṇa.
We are called to feed others through radical hospitality. Pay it forward. Contribute to a local food bank. Volunteer at a local soup kitchen or event. ANYTHING you can do to help others who are hungry.

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.
“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.”
Originally made as a screen print in 1990, we now offer this thought-provoking poster digitally printed on heavy cover stock.
Plant some of this grassroots mix in your community’s garden!

A two-color scratchboard portrait of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. surrounded by a crowd. MLK is colored in a dark brown, wearing a wide brimmed hat, sitting with his legs apart and one hand back behind him, oriented to the viewer's right but with head to the viewer's left talking to someone to next to him while putting his hand on theirs. Various people around, many of them seeming to listen to what he is saying, are shaded in teal/blue. The text under the image reads: “Martin Luther King, Jr. organized for the freedom of Black people from racial oppression and of all people from poverty and war. In addition to his leadership in the civil rights movement, King’s morally uncompromising vision led him to actively oppose the war in Vietnam and to lead a Poor People’s Campaign at home. He was widely attacked at the time for his principled stands. A gunman assassinated King in 1968 in Memphis, where King came to support a labor strike.”
Today in 1968 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is assassinated. This fuels the growth of the Black Power movement.

In large block red type beneath is his name, Fred Hampton. Beneath that in small brown type: "Fred Hampton was the Chairman of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party. He was a charismatic leader in the Black community with an ability to build alliances across racial divisions. He was targeted by local and federal police authorities. Before dawn on December 4, 1969 he was shot to death in a rain of police bullets as he slept in his apartment. He was twenty-one years old. Based on photo by Ron Reisterer/The Oakland Tribune"

This time that country is what we promise each other, our rage pressed cheek to cheek until tears flood the space between, until there are no enemies left, because this time no one will be left to drown and all of us must be chosen. This time it’s all of us or none.”

No more taking turns on history’s wheel, trying to collect old debts no one can pay. The sea will not open that way.
A poster dominated by yellows, browns, and blues, framed with an arch in a middle eastern style with a moon and stars on one side and sun on the other. The title in small letters at top is "this time". The main illustration shows people marching through a village carrying bread, vegetables and other goods. In the background, fighter jets race away from a bombing; a refugee camp sits in front of skyscrapers. Handwritten text at the bottom says: “They say that other country over there, dim blue in the twilight, farther than the orange stars exploding over our roofs, is called peace, but who can find the way? This time we cannot cross until we carry each other. All of us refugees, all of us prophets. No more taking turns on history’s wheel, trying to collect old debts no one can pay. The sea will not open that way. This time that country is what we promise each other, our rage pressed cheek to cheek until tears flood the space between, until there are no enemies left, because this time no one will be left to drown and all of us must be chosen. This time it’s all of us or none. Text by Aurora Levins Morales, Artwork by Ricardo Levins Morales.”
