PC-FDQ.GIF Postcard: Frederick Douglass, Abolitionist.
$0.75
PC-FDQ
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are people who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. That struggle might be a moral one; it might be a physical one; it might be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and never will. People might not get all that they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get." – Frederick Douglass
Abolitionist

They are only available at the retail price, not at wholesale. When these remaining postcards are sold out, they will not be reprinted by the publisher. The inscription reads: "I am no longer afraid of mirrors where I see the sign of the amazon, the one who shoots arrows. There was a fine line across my chest where a knife entered, but now a branch winds about the scar and travels from arm to heart... On the book of my body, I have permanently inscribed a tree." - Deena Metzger, 1988

P-NQ.jpg Postcard: "In Germany, first they came for the Communists..."
$1.25
PC-NQ
"In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics and I did not speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me." --Pastor Martin Niemoller

This quotation is widely used to voice the need for unity and supporting one another under authoritarian governments and is a popular model for describing the dangers of political apathy. Repression always begins with specific and targeted fear and hatred which soon escalates to encompass more and more targeted groups.
