Broadside: What is needed in New Haven: A call for a People's Assembly to free the Panthers - NOW! SEIZE THE TIME

New York: Youth Against War & Fascism, 1970. Original broadside, with text and illustration offset printed in black on newsprint, measuring 42cm x 58cm (16.5" x 22.75"). Light toning, two old folds smoothed out, with several tiny nicks, tears, and attendant creases to extremities, and a thin, partial split at the intersection of the center folds; Very Good+.

Pictorial broadside in support of the New Haven Panthers, calling for a People's Assembly to occupy the city of New Haven for "as long as it takes" and do whatever is necessary to free the Panthers. "What is needed in order to insure that we do not witness another protest followed by an execution – as in the cases of Sacco-Vanzetti, the Rosenbergs, et al. – is for the movement to immediately establish in New Haven a center which would become a magnet to draw thousands upon thousands of people from all over the country. By their overwhelming presence they could exert great power and influence in New Haven to see that this outrageous frameup is ended – NOW!" Issued May 1, 1970 as an insert in The Partisan by Youth Against War & Fascism, the youth arm of the Trotskyist Workers World Party. We do not locate any separately catalogued examples in OCLC, though we do note copies held by Harvard and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
