| Justseeds Artists' Cooperative is a decentralized community of artists who collaborate with social movements. They have a new book coming out featuring over 200 artists by "activist and non-activist printmakers who have felt the need to respond to the monumental trends and events of our times. " Here are some prints and stories from their website where they're selling these prints. "This poster was originally used for a poster/education campaign trying to apply the United Nations's laws for "Internally Displaced Peoples" to survivors of Katrina." "Originally produced in 2000 and wheatpasted all over Memphis, TN, these posters connect the demands of the past with the realities of the present. It's a rough day when our demands are exactly the same now as they were 40 years ago."  "Each year, millions of Monarch butterflies migrate from North America to Mexico and back. Because of the extreme distance and the fragile nature of butterflies, they stop en route to lay eggs, and baby Monarchs from those eggs instinctively know to continue the route. I made this print both to honor and encourage women who flew from Mexico, or whose parents flew from there." 
"Two fiery activists, organizers, movement founders, and writers who began, throughout the gritty reality of post-industrializing Detroit, envisioning and creating a better world."
