Black panther poster. Just as relevant today
[Image description: photo of a poster by the New American Movement. The poster is simple black text on a white background. A hand is holding the poster up to the camera, which reads in all caps,
"If you're unemployed it's not because there isn't any work.
Just look around: a housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. and as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there's work to be done.
So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs. It's a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business.
This country was not built by the huge corporations or government bureaucracies. It was built by people who work. and it is working people who should control the work to be done. Yet, as long as employment is tied to somebody else's profits, the work wont get done.”
The first sentence is bold and underlined. Text at the bottom of the poster attributes the poster to the New American Movement. /end ID]
