Stop Policing the World

Some of the striking students at UC Berkeley silkscreened hundreds of protest posters onto used computer paper, including this CSPG Poster of the Week. The silkscreen graphic from 1970 Berkeley, CA was modeled after a poster made during the Paris '68 student/worker strike.

In March 1969, President Nixon ordered the bombing of Cambodia, a country neighbouring Viet Nam. As this was an escalation of an unpopular war, and because Cambodia was a neutral country, the Nixon administration tried to keep it a secret from the American people. An estimated 100,000 peasants died in the bombing, while two million people were left homeless.
 
In April 1970, Nixon ordered U.S. troops into Cambodia.  When the invasion was announced, U.S. college campuses erupted in protest, and one-third of them shut down due to student walkouts. At Kent State University in Ohio, four students were killed by panicky national guardsmen who had been called up to prevent rioting. Two days later, two students were killed at Jackson State College in Mississippi.
