Panther pride, Labubu style: 59 years ago this month, Bobby Seale and Huey Newton founded the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. This sticker is a little nod to that legacy. Dripped in the iconic leather jacket and beret, this little monster carries The Black Panther newspaper in one hand while raising a fist in the other. The buttons on their beret honor the Panther 21, Bobby Seale, and the San Quentin 6 while sporting a Malcolm X button near its heart.

JULY STICKER REVEAL : MF DOOM SAYS NO BORDERS July marks the birth month of Daniel Dumile, better known as MF DOOM. Born in London, he arrived in amerikkka at just six weeks old with his parents - immigrants from Zimbabwe and Trinidad. When DOOM was three, his mother filed for permanent residency. But like many working-class immigrant families, they couldn’t afford the steep costs tied to the process. As a result, the government labeled Doom a “deportable alien”  Later in life, Dumile discovered he wasn’t a amerikkkan citizen as he had long assumed. He applied for permanent residency under a law allowing certain immigrants who arrived before 1972 to stay and in 2004, he submitted proof of his long-term residency. In 2010, after touring Europe, he was let back into the amerikkka on a tourist visa waiver (what Homeland Security later called an error). That same year, he was denied re-entry altogether, with the feds citing a past misdemeanor conviction, overstaying a previous visa, and Doom lacking proper documentation. He made one final attempt in 2012 to return home and was again denied. The most devastating consequence: he was separated from his wife and children for nearly two years. On October 31, 2020, DOOM passed due to entirely preventable complications and medical neglect. Would he still be alive today had he not been banished? We’ll never know, but we do know this: borders kill. DOOM’s story is just one of many reasons we keep saying - no borders!

JUNE STICKER REVEAL: A TRIBUTE TO JUNE JORDAN With our communities under attack from every level of government, it only felt right to honor a giant in June Jordan. This sticker features our favorite verse from her: “I must become a menace to my enemies.” In one of her penultimate interviews, June spoke about the role of the poet in society. She said: “The role of the poet is to deserve the trust of people who know that what you do is work with words. Always to be as honest as possible, and to be as careful with the trust invested in you as you possibly can. Then the task of a poet of color, a Black poet, in a world where we are hated and despised, is to rally the spirit of your folks… I have to get myself together and figure out an angle, a perspective, that is an offering—something others can use to lift themselves up, to rally, to keep going, or even better, to jump higher and reach further in solidarity with others in pursuit of something greater. I feel that it’s a spiritual task.” June was known as the poet of the people. She deeply undersood that her personal fight was part of a principled fight for freedom. Yes, we made a sticker in June of June, but June also marks the month that she passed from breast cancer in 2002. It’s Pride Month and June was proud to be bisexual in a time when that was heavily stigmatized. In her final collection of essays, Some of Us Did Not Die, she wrote: “Bisexuality means that I am free, and I am as likely to love a woman as I am a man. And what about that? Isn’t that what freedom means? If you are free, you are not predictable, and you are not controllable. To my mind, that is the profoundly positive political significance of bisexual affirmation.” Sign up for our 1312 Sticker Club in bio!

MAY STICKER REVEAL: This month, we honor John Africa, the founder of the MOVE organization. John Africa was a larger-than-life figure, a passionate orator and a fierce advocate for life in all its forms. He was a revolutionary, a healer, a builder, and a master strategist known within MOVE as “the Coordinator.” People came to him seeking relief from physical illness, addiction, and infertility, and he cured them all. He taught that all life human, animal, and plant has feelings and a fundamental desire to be free. Of its meaning, John Africa said, quote: “The word MOVE is not an acronym. It means exactly what it says: MOVE, work, generate, be active. Everything that’s alive moves. If it didn’t, it would be stagnant, dead. Movement is the principle of life, and because MOVE’s belief is Life, our name is MOVE. When we greet each other, we’ll say, ‘Ona Move.’” John Africa authored The Guidelines, the core text that laid the foundation for MOVE. Under his leadership, MOVE embraced a way of life rooted in communal living, self-reliance, and harmony with nature. MOVE was unflinching in its opposition to what John Africa called “the system”—a force he believed was at the root of all social, environmental, and spiritual problems. He called for a true revolution: the result would be the complete dismantling of the system itself. MOVE’s protests targeted institutions they saw as complicit in systemic oppression, including the Philadelphia Pig Department, the Philadelphia School Board, the NAACP, the Philadelphia Zoo, and Barnum & Bailey’s Ringling Brothers Circus. John Africa’s life was stolen during the 1985 siege by pigs on MOVE’s Osage Avenue HQ, one of the most devastating acts of state violence in recent memory. The assault began on Mother’s Day, as pigs fired more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition into the house. The pigs would escalate by sending in a helicopter to drop C-4 explosives onto the roof of the MOVE house. 11 MOVE members were murdered, including five children: Tree, Netta, Delitia, Phil, and Tomasa Africa and six adults: Rhonda, Teresa, Frank, Conrad, CP, and John Africa himself. On the Move! Long live John Africa! Long live John Africa!

APRIL STICKER REVEAL: As the vicious ethnic cleansing of Palestinians continues so does the resistance. We must remember our liberation history. One such important lesson has shown us how the weak and fearful state can not defeat the people united for a better world.  This sticker is inspired by a poster commemorating April 30, 1975, also known as Reunification Day, Liberation Day, The Fall of Saigon, and by other names. On the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Vietnam, it is important for those of us here in the imperial core, to remember the struggle and history of those who have fought against seemingly impossible odds and were victorious. Those who dare to struggle, dare to win. If you sign up for our 1312 Sticker Club by the end of this month, you’ll receive our March sticker as a welcome gift!

For our March sticker, we’ve reimagined the Miami Vice logo to reflect what’s on all our minds right now: abolish ICE. Our youth are leading the charge, taking to the streets to stand against this fascist regime, neighbors are educating one another about their rights and community patrols are stepping up to defend our neighborhoods from state-sanctioned kidnappings. It’s clear: we must all commit to the abolition of ICE, prisons, and police. Join our 1312 Sticker Club now (link in bio)

“Molotov’s Big Boy” is a shout out to the recently deceased director David Lynch. He was a big fan of the Burbank restaurant and we were inspired by how fans set up a little vigil outside that location this past January. Both Lynch and the restaurant have much to criticize, particularly in how they view(ed) police and how they operate(d) within capitalism but we like to dream of a world where every big boy knows their place in the struggle and every transphobe will, in the words of Lynch, “fix your heart or die!” You can find this in our webstore (link in bio) for $5.99. thanks for the continued support. ACAB.

Advance Planning Is Bodily Autonomy March 9th, 3-6pm It is always a good time to be thinking about the kind of death and legacy that we want, and as people with strong values surrounding autonomy and liberation, it is important to explore the kinds of choices we have related to the end of our lives.
