Our Bodies, Our Lives, Our Right to Decide. Abortion Without Apology-We Won't Go Back! Prairie Fire Organizing Committee Poster
No Place: Prairie Fire Organizing Committee (PFOC)/Fireworks Graphics, Publisher. Unbound. Very Good. Item #018451
No place or date (San Francisco, 1989). Thin paper stock. Offset printed. 25 by 19 inches. A pro-abortion poster, created by feminist artist Terry Forman and issued by Fireworks Graphics, a part of the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee. Poster depicts a stylized image of a woman behind a coat-hanger dripping with blood. While not indicated anywhere on the poster, it may perhaps be related to the massive protests held on April 9th, 1989 in response to a Supreme Court decision that allowed states to consider restricting abortions. The Prairie Fire Organizing Committee originated as the Prairie Fire Distributing Committee, a group formed to distribute the book, "Prairie Fire" (written by members of the Weather Underground Organization). Inspired by the book, groups formed around the country, officially organizing in San Francisco in 1976. It supports a variety of international liberation movements, as well as women's and gay liberation, and is staunchly anti-white/male supremacy. VERY GOOD condition. A few small wrinkles to the poster, mostly near the extremities. (See Center for the Study of Political Graphics website for brief publication information).
