P-MHAA.jpeg Poster: My Hands Are All I Own...
$12.00
11 x 17" poster • art by Ricardo Levins Morales • union printed
Text reads: "My hands are all I own, they are my love and my sustenance." – Victor Jara
"Mis manos son lo ϊnico que tengo, son mi amor y mi sustento."
Headwaters Foundation for Justice
This is a quote from the popular Chilean singer-songwriter, Victor Jara, who was arrested, imprisoned among thousands of other leftists in the national stadium where he was tortured and had all his fingers broken. The military guards then said "Play your guitar now!" and Victor did with broken fingers. The guards shot and killed him in front of the thousands of others they had rebounded up to torture and murdered. This owas one of the moist brutal coups ever backed by the U.S. government. The Chilean military bombed the Presidential palace on September 11, 1973 in a CIA-backed Coup D-Etat that overthrew the democractically-elected Socialist President. Salvador Allende. Henry Kissinger and the Nixon administration in the U.S. supported this coup, and for the next 19 years Chile was ruled by the fascist government of military General Augusto Pinochet. The ttory behind Victor Jara makes his words about his hands so much more powerful.
For n outstanding a docudrama about the September 11th Chilean Coup, see the Academy Award-Winning 1983 film "Missing" by Costa-Gavras. We carry the DVD.

P-NQ
18" x 24" white gloss 80 pound stock.
Quotation from Pastor Martin Nielmoller (1892-1984) He survived internment in a Nazi concentration camp.
Text on poster: "In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics and I did not speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me." -Pastor Martin Niemoller

This quotation is widely used to voice the need for unity and supporting one another under authoritarian governments and is a popular model for describing the dangers of political apathy. Repression always begins with specific and targeted fear and hatred which soon escalates to encompass more and more targeted groups.
