Description: Some people think "Let's get this bread" represents the daily grind. But it originated with the French Revolution. On July 14, 1789 (Bastille Day), French workers and common people chanted, “Allons chercher ce pain” -- “let us go get this bread." For us, this phrase means the philosophy of Mutual Aid -- that if we all help each other and work together, no one has to starve. We've pictured anarchist philosopher Peter Kroptkin saying this phrase.

Description: According to the IWW: The Black Cat -- traditionally drawn as angry with claws bared, arched back, and a brushy tail (pictured, right) -- has long been one of the symbols of the IWW. It was probably conceived by IWW member Ralph Chaplin (most famous for penning the IWW / labor anthem "Solidarity Forever"), who produced many of the IWW's early "slient agitator" graphics which -- themselves -- had a close association with hobo signs. We like to combine anarchist symbols and quotes with the visual art of anarchists like William Morris. Our goal is to create beautiful and accessible ways to approach the philosophy of Mutual Aid.

Description: According to historian Adolphe Thiers, the President of the Paris Commune, Pierre Gaspard Chaumette, gave a speech to the city on 14 October 1793 (during the Reign of Terror), in which he said: Rousseau était peuple aussi, et il disait: Quand le peuple n'aura plus rien à manger, il mangera le riche. Rousseau, who was also one of the people, said: When the people shall have no more to eat, they will eat the rich!

Rousseau, who was also one of the people, said: When the people shall have no more to eat, they will eat the rich! We've combined this slogan with William Morris' designs, because he was a leading anarchist of his time.
