Progressive Posters from the Archives of Red Sun Press

As progressive activists since well before the era of YouTube and Instagram, our collective memories sometimes get a bit blurry. But no one can take away the glory, those moments of triumphant striving for justice and peace that we experienced at some point along the road. And luckily those events – both momentous and minor – have been preserved for us in the political art and graphics that blazoned our progressive visions.

And the historical narrative of a vital progressive movement is nowhere more visible than in the graphical manifestos and the poignant posters that we created along the way. Pictured here are some prints from our own press archives that we feel capture the spirit of progressive activism. The original prints are preserved, and have been exhibited around Boston several times. You can click on an image to see a lightbox, then click or swipe through. Apologies for any missing captions or credits. We are still tracking down some info on these.
