Between grieving for our murdered comrades and plotting to prevent further such murders, some of us have finished three humble new projects, which are now at your disposal in the downloads library:

DON’T TALK TO POLICE OR THE FBI

Though directed at activists at risk for being harassed by the morons in suits, this poster is a useful reminder for anyone who may at some point be questioned or threatened by the bullies in blue. Our fates and those of our comrades are in our hands, not the hands of our enemies.

WASH YOUR OWN DISHES

Long in the coming, this poster fits neatly over the sink to remind housemates and guests of the anarchic virtue of cleaning up after oneself. To illustrate this point, it offers a hilarious review of how the dishes get washed under every political/economic system from Libertarianism to Anarcho-Primitivism. The illustration is taken from the highly recommended pamphlet Abolish Restaurants, available from prole.info.

THE ART OF POLITICS

Just in time for the election, this pamphlet version of an article from Rolling Thunder #1 lays out all the ways that politics-as-we-know-it excludes, segregates, co-opts, distracts, controls, represses, and oppresses those who submit to it. Take stacks of these to liberal rallies, community events, and polling stations–perhaps the best reason to vote is to leave propaganda or graffiti in the voting booth. Cutting edge design makes this at once readable and visually stimulating.

Anyone who does not have access to a printer and copy scam, or is simply too lazy to seek it, can email info@crimethinc.com to ask for a paper copy of any of the above. Please copy and distribute these projects as widely as you’re able!
