For the Massive

Description: Wepa wepa wepa!!!

Description: Who could forget the classic scene from Rockers?

Description: I first heard the phrase “decolonize your mind” on divine forces radio, hosted by Fidel Rodriguez on KPFK, some time back in the 2000s. I’ve been decolonizing ever since.

Description: Yes Iyah!

Description: Just like Barry Brown sang.

Description: Whether human, cow, elephant, or whale, it is time to free those wrongly imprisoned and imprisoned wrongly.

Description: Burn down Babylon system. Another world is possible.

Description: When we come together in unity, we create community.

Description: Stop global warming. Break ICE.

Description: Who wrote the history books?

Description: History teaches us lessons we do not listen to.

Description: Borders are imaginary anyway. Free the world, free the people.

Description: Let people live as they feel to be. Everyone is welcome!

Description: In sound system culture, the massive is anyone who listens to and supports the music in any way. You don’t have to listen to roots and dubwise music to support For the Massive, but it would def look good on you!

Description: Are you part of the subculture? Wear the message that started as a comment by @kiko_kaiser and went viral, as shared by ALOK.

Description: Everybody rally round, we haffi tell dem again! What we wanna hear? Roots pon di sound system!

Description: Big up the people of Jamaica who have shared a culture with the world like no other. This is a salute to those who remain resilient in the face of downpressors and, now, the devastation by the hurricane. Proceeds from this purchase will go toward hurricane relief.

Description: Don’t forget your roots. Don’t forget your culture.

Description: Give thanks for what you got and keep fighting for what you need. Until all of us are free, none of us are free. There is still beauty in the world, even down here in Babylon; don’t let the downpressors mash down your soul.

Description: Keep it strickly Ital: no bones, no blood. Whether you eat vegan or Ital, the next time someone makes a comment about you not eating meat, flip the script: ask them why they eat flesh. Rant: I've heard the arguments: it’s classist (rice and peas, a sufferah’s feed), it’s racist (then why is so much Ethiopian food vegan? why is a third of the population of India vegetarian?), animals were put here for us to eat (we didn’t eat them in mass until we domesticated them and began factory farming them). I understand that some cultures and peoples cannot be vegan, but if you're out here in Babylon, none of us are free until we all are free…including our animal friends. And yes, we must give thanks to plants because they are living beings too.

Description: For the Rasta, the smoking or ingestion of cannabis is a sacrament. Ganja is both spiritual and medicinal. Respect the plant!

Description: Stop the genocide. Portions of the proceeds from this design will go toward supporting the people of Falastin.

Description: Auntie called. She wants that ancestral Land Back. Part of the proceeds of this design will go toward Native rights causes.

Description: If you suspect someone of being antifa, dial 616 immediately! Look for these signs: questions far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideologies; criticizes dictators for perceived “crimes against humanity;” acknowledges that ancestors fought against Nazis; has a Captain America comic book depicting Captain America clocking Adolf Hitler; listens to a band called Dead Kennedys.

Description: Crazy, insane, psycho, mad… To be Mad is to exist outside the respectability and norms of Babylon. If you are what they call “mad,” take pride. Let’s stop using these terms like insults and start using them as words of praise.

Description: In some cultures, what we call schizophrenia is a superpower. There is an associative key to so-called “word salad.” There is more than way to realize and speak truth. I designed this one with my spouse in mind, but if you’re on the schizo spectrum, this one’s for you.
