This flyer is a political statement aimed at generating support for Puerto Rican independence and the release of imprisoned activists. The poster seeks to rally communities, specifically those in New York and Chicago, to demonstrate against the incarceration of three independence leaders. Through this document, the San Patricio Corps Solidarity Organization calls on White people to participate alongside the independence movement to help defeat US imperialism and win a society free of oppression. Visual elements include an image of a hand holding a gun, draped in a Puerto Rican flag, alongside an obscured picture of the prison.

“EARTH FIRST! is defined by its actions, the purpose of which is to: -ACTUALLY HALT THE DESTRUCTION, force the companies to quit, the Forest Dis-Service to withdraw its sale, the bulldozers to halt. Our primary purpose is to personally intercede, to “stop the bleeding.”
The most “symbolic” action stops the saws, and leaves the log-trucks lined-up empty.”

“A clear message to the Earth rapists: No more “business as usual.””
