Carnegie Steel Poster 11x17", offset (3 oz) $4.00

A memorial to the big strike at Carnegie Steel in Pittsburgh in 1892. "That was a war between laboring men because these pinkertons were there under pay and the person who employed that force was safely placed away by the money that he has wrung from the sweat of the men employed in that mill, employing in their stead workmen to kill the men who made his money."

*Have your poster shipped in a Poster Tube for extra protection! Posters not shipped in tubes will be folded in half for packaging and are more subject to wear while shipping.

Trouble In Mind #5 52 pages, 1/2 legal, copied, linocut covers (3 oz) * OUT OF STOCK *

Erik presents us with beautiful artwork (along with art by Icky and Merrydeath) & idealistic hope for the future of anarchist, punk, & activist movements. This issue tackles maintaining momentum and getting older in a young culture, tolerance, patience, teaching people instead of alienating them, changing tactics, & violence vs. nonviolence. This is a highly personal document though despite these serious topics. There are stories about embracing newcomers to the scene, communicating messages to the general public (by Josh, Just Seeds), strikes (Moe, Xtra Tuf & Colin, Ideas in Pictures), feeding the public, the aesthetic of DIY spaces (Iggy Scam), Utah Phillips, embracing anarchist construction, not just destruction, the Atelier Populaire, a student art activist group from France who challenged their privelege to support a workers' strike and so much more to inspire the way that you think and feel. Erik is doing much to shape the future of our movement i n what I think is a positive direction!

Trouble in Mind #6: Try 48 pages, 1/2 size, copied, fancy cover (3 oz) * OUT OF STOCK *

Following up #5 is tricky territory, as it was one of my favorites from the past year, but Erik presents us with more beautiful artwork (along with art by Icky and Merrydeath) & idealistic hope for the future of anarchist, punk, & activist movements. This issue focuses around "try" with stories about getting physically assaulted, riding bikes, taking care of a disabled woman, and the Tyson strike. This is a highly personal document though despite these serious topics. Erik is doing much to shape the future of our movement i n what I think is a positive direction! Every issue should be essential reading.
