This poster collages seven faces on top of a photograph of a riot police versus protestors at a demonstration. On October 16 during the national Stop the Draft Week campaign, over 200 demonstrators blocked the entrance to the Oakland Induction Center; 40 were arrested, and seven were tried for “conspiracy to trespass, to commit a public nuisance, and to resist, delay, and obstruct police officers.” All were acquitted.
