A People's History of Kanada in Pictures
written by Press Release
A People's History of Kanada in Pictures
by NOII
The People's History of Canada/Kanada Poster Project is a collaborative effort between No One is Illegal-Vancouver and grassroots artists. A series of original art pieces explore moments of repression and resistance in Canadian history.
 
 
The artists working on this Project come from a diversity of communities and almost all carry his/herstories and direct experiences of colonization and displacement that are being engaged within the Project. Initial sales helped the project break even ($1500) and raised $500 for NOII-Vancouver.

*Affordable, inspiring political presents!*


 
 
The People's History of Canada/Kanada Poster Project is a great way to give anticapitalist holiday presents to your family and friends this year.

Money raised now goes directly to support Indigenous resistance in KKKanada including legal fees for Indigenous political prisoners and solidarity actions; to ongoing printing costs; and to the artists themselves, to support ongoing incredible political art and activism. No profit motive, just money to support inspiring art and powerful organizing!

These posters raise money for social justice, they tell these stories in ways that don't make it into the official history books, and they help build links between different moments in history, moments of repression and resistance, and different communities' struggles. Best of all, they are visually powerful and evocative. Give your family and friends a gift that means something!

No One is Illegal-Vancouver is a grassroots anti-colonial immigrant/refugee rights community collective with leadership from members of migrant and/or racialized backgrounds. As a movement for self-determination that challenges the ideology of immigration controls, we are in full confrontation with Canadian border policies; denouncing and taking action to combat racial profiling, detention and deportation, the national security apparatus, law enforcement brutality, and exploitative working conditions of migrants.

We struggle for the right for our communities to maintain their livelihoods and resist war, occupation, and displacement; while supporting indigenous sisters and brothers fighting theft of land and colonization. We also place ourselves within the broader movement for global social justice that struggles against capitalism, militarism, oppression, poverty, imperialism, and other systems of domination and exploitation.
