19825401Washington DC 1982. About very good. Lithographic poster 34 x 22.75 inches printed on cheap paper. A few small chips and closed tears to edges old folds some light creasing. A striking poster advertising a "Mass Protest" in Washington D.C. in support of El Salvador and "against the Reagan Policy of Oppression at Home and Intervention in the Third World!" The poster is decorated by illustrations of about two dozen helicopters at top but is otherwise comprised of text in variously-sized fonts. The poster was issued by the March 27 Coalition whose sixteen member organizations are listed at the bottom left corner of the poster and include the American Indian Movement Black Veterans for Social Justice People's Anti-War Mobilization Puerto Rico Solidarity Committee Women's Pentagon Action and many others. According to a contemporary article in The Washington Post the protest drew an estimated 23000 demonstrators assembled to protest U.S. policy in El Salvador on the eve of elections in that country. The demonstrators accused the Reagan Administration of supporting a "civilian-military junta in El Salvador that is locked in a war against leftist insurgents." The present poster is a call to action for the protest but also calls for the U.S. to support jobs "human needs" and "Self Determination for the People of Central America and all Oppressed Nations -- No More Vietnam Wars!" The poster also calls for unity against "the Reagan Policy of Oppression at Home and Intervention in the Third World" as well as a call for "No to the Draft! No to Racism! and No to Sexism!" OCLC reports a single record of an El Salvador protest poster from San Francisco in 1981 and a handful of examples of protest posters for El Salvador from later in the 1980s but we could not locate any other copies of this 1982 protest poster. unknown
1964185861964. Broadside 1964 announcing the "Second Giant March Up Market Street" in San Francisco documenting West Coast civil rights mobilization in advance of the July 12 1964 Human Rights March and the opening of the Republican National Convention. Issued during a period of national debate over the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related state measures the flyer outlines the political aims of the demonstration including opposition to Proposition 14 known as the Segregation Amendment and advocacy for "the full equality of 20 million Negro American citizens."
