Just over two weeks before our first stall of the year at Wakefield's "With Banners Held High" festival. It was at the 2022 festival that we decided to set up our collective so we are really excited about running a stall there this year. wxwakefield.co.uk/Whats-On/Det...

Just putting together our May Newsletter to go out next week - if you want to be copied in you can sign up here: radicalpostercollective.co.uk/customer/acc...

We are working on our poster pocketbooks on the Spanish Revolution and Civil War. Volume 2 will include this graphic, the front cover of issue 11 of the historic magazine Mujeres Libres. Not 100% happy with the clean up job - so we aren't going to be printing it - but it's up on our website.

😕 💰

This year will see the 90th Anniversary of the Spanish Revolution - sparked by the defeat of the military uprising in Barcelona on 19 July 1936, by the armed working class. To mark the occasion we have set up a couple of special offers on our website: radicalpostercollective.co.uk/special-offe...

Like… We cannot go ahead and have the World Cup now like nothing is going on. Regardless of what does or doesn’t happen tonight. Countries should simply refuse to send teams. The rest of the world cannot treat us as a remotely normal country after this

If anyone has any spare cash down the side of the sofa - you could for worse than donating to this. This group has produced brilliant theatre in the past including about the International Brigades in Spain and the Grunwick Strike. No doubt the story of Joe Clough will be inspiring!!

May Day is coming - we just put some May Day Walter Crane Bundles on our Special Offers page: radicalpostercollective.co.uk/special-offe...

The President is a madman, sending the military to kill civilians in an illegal war, while the death technology millionaires just get richer and richer. Refuse to Fight!

Our tribute to Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers - the front page of the "Diggers Declaration". You can read the whole Declaration here: theanarchistlibrary.org/library/gerr...

We just finished completely recreating the "Proclamation of 25th March". In March 1871, having survived a months' long siege by the invading Prussian army - the National Guard (made up of recruits from working class areas) seized power and held elections.

Another few quid donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians. If you want to make a donation - here's the website: www.map.org.uk

The behaviour of Israel's Government, or that of the settler fascists, is never ever a valid excuse for anti-semitism.

Walter Crane's 1891 memorial to the Paris Commune which started on 18 March 1871 - revolutionary workers took over the city, abolished capital punishment and child labour, took over empty factories and set up soup kitchens. They held Paris for two months, but were eventually put down by the army.

Profiteering. Woodall services near Sheffield is country’s most expensive pit stops, with diesel priced at 185.9p a litre and petrol at 172.9p. Just plain greedy. Please boycott. Time for Govt to act, as a warning to others.

There was never a plan and he had no clue what he is doing. Thousands of deaths and injuries for absolutely nothing. The US is a menace to society and a rogue state and should be treated as a pariah.

Solidarity with everyone celebrating International Women's Day!

Damning verdict on England social care as peer says system needs a 'reckoning'. 22 major reviews over 3 decades. Govts do nothing. No integrated healthcare system. Social care privatised. Corporations profiteering. Public money buys less. Govt handing the NHS to them as well End privatisation.

We signed off the text for our forthcoming radical poster pocketbook about Walter Crane last night - just have to finish off the graphics and send to print next month. The A6 book will feature 26 examples of Crane's work, including this one:

Fragging is the most beautiful word in the dictionary.

Our March newsletter just gone out today - if you want to be included, you can sign up on our website: radicalpostercollective.co.uk/customer/acc...

We've got a new diary date - 9 May, Wakefield, UK, the fantastic "With Banners Held High" festival. An annual friendly gathering of trade unionists and socialists, with music, refreshments, speeches and stalls.

Our next big project is the third in our series of Radical Poster Pocketbooks - a book about the radical art of Walter Crane. The writing and artwork are nearly done. We are hoping to have it printed and distributed in April.

I know it's exciting, but please don't over estimate the British police - they only serve the interests of the rich and powerful. It's possible that the royal nonce is being thrown under a bus, but it's not the start of a reckoning.

Listen closely to every word of this

In 1936 there was a movement to boycott the Berlin Olympics. It was widely understood that they would be used to sportswash the Nazis. radicalpostercollective.co.uk/preserve-the... There was an alternative games organised, which was due to take place in Barcelona - but events took over...

Our new set of Paris posters, originally printed by the Atelier Populaire in Paris in May/June 1968; and our little pocket book of posters - which describes the events.

Since we started the collective in 2022, we have built up a selection of classic Paris Uprising posters - but we've been adding them piecemeal. So we spent a bit of time reorganising and adding some new ones so they now make up a really neat set: radicalpostercollective.co.uk/other-stuff/...

We are back from our 'holidays' - and all the orders we built up over the last three weeks are going out today! We've added our new postcard sets to our website radicalpostercollective.co.uk/other-stuff/...

We are back from holiday on Sunday - we'll send out all the orders we had over last 3 weeks. Meanwhile our website is all set - with loads of info - including this one from the International Socialist Workers and Trade Unionist Congress 1896: radicalpostercollective.co.uk/mass-meeting...

Kick start your #socialistsunday feed with a start pack of broad-left accounts

We're looking at a lot of Walter Crane's iconic 19th and early 20th Century socialist art at the moment as part of a new project, including this front cover for Ben Tillett's book about the 1911 London transport workers' strike.

This is what happens when "the grown-ups are in charge".

Remembering Bloody Sunday - 30 January 1972, when British soldiers murdered 13 people in Derry radicalpostercollective.co.uk/remember-der...

We're on holiday at the moment - when we get back mid-February, our new Spanish Revolution and Civil War postcard set will be available from our website.

We just ordered our next postcard set - 8 designs advertising the 1923 Bauhaus exhibition in Weimar. These will be available via our website from mid-February

Please share. 💔

We are taking a holiday for about three weeks after today. When we come back we will have 2 new sets of postcards (Bauhaus and a new set of Spanish Revolution), and a few new posters.

Just working on some presentation ideas for our posters - we have a lot on our website - over 250 posters spanning 200 years of radical movements.

Our February newsletter is going out today - a little early because we are going to be on holiday from 26 January to 14 February. If you want to be on our Newsletter circulation list - you can sign up on our website: radicalpostercollective.co.uk/customer/acc...

The review of our website is just about complete, including this extension of our "Bauhaus" page - we've added some Dada artwork - as ever with a bit of info about the context and the artists lives: radicalpostercollective.co.uk/posters/bauh...

This is just rambling nonsense.
