May Day by Matt Rivers
Written over the course of a week, the second installment of Matt Rivers' protest series is a time capsule of current events. A dog ear in the book of history; meant to fan the flames of discontent and record, for posterity, the events of 2023/2024.
Solidarity with the Palestinian people!
Solidarity with the Union Movements!
Solidarity with the Student Movements, and all Liberated Zones!
No one is Free until we're all Free!
