  • Poster/Print + Digital Album

    This tatreez-inspired print symbolizing a mill wheel pays homage to Palestinian women, who have played an integral role in resisting the Israeli occupation. Tatreez — a centuries old artful embroidery technique with radical roots — is just one of the many tools they have utilized.

    This is a limited edition blockprint (one of 50)

    Each piece is hand printed onto archival paper (Rives BFK 280g cream 100% cotton), and will be signed and numbered.

    Due to the nature of hand printing, each piece has slight variations from each other and may vary slightly from the image pictured.

    Roughly 7"x7"

lyrics

Drive through hamburger
All American murder
Low retail and service wages
Keep the poor in line

Every other house you see
Is owned by private equity
Food and shelter’s a commodity
In corporate times

Big trucks
No fucks
Given about the deals we struck
With all the native nations
After all this time

Now we’re sending across the sea
The export of our legacy
American Catastrophe
One bomb at a time

Oh lady liberty
How viciously the war machine
Has bound up your democracy
In bloodstained chains of greed

Take us for all we’re worth
Do the same to the earth
Then hoard up all the money
While the people bleed
How much money can one man need?

Hear our voice in your mansions high
Ceasefire
End the genocide
Ceasefire
End the genocide
The Alpha the Omega
Cherokee and Palestine
The Alpha the Omega
Cherokee and Palestine
America the beautiful
Is no America of mine
America the beautiful
is no America of mine
