Join Interference Archive and the NYC Poor People’s Campaign for the Everybody’s Got A Right To Live Propaganda Party. We’ll gather at Interference Archive to screenprint posters, t-shirts, fabric, make buttons, banners and more.
What is a propaganda party? It’s where we invite organizations, activists, designers, and folks like you to come together in our archive of material produced by social movements, to hang out, meet each other, and make and distribute material in support of a cause. At this event we’ll be collectively producing graphic material for upcoming NYC PPC activities around the state. Read more on our website.

Everybody’s Got A Right To Live: The Poor People’s Campaign 1968 & Now
Exhibition dates: April 18 - June 23, 2019
Described as Martin Luther King Jr.’s “last great dream,” the Poor People’s Campaign (PPC) of 1968 was an ambitious movement to make poverty in the world’s richest nation visible and to demand justice for poor Americans. The PPC struggled to define itself as a multi-axis movement while it faced political suppression from the state, ultimately derailing its reform goals and leading some to consider it a failure; however, its spirit and intention has carried on into the present day within a growing resurgence campaign seeking to call attention to the unmet demands of ‘68.
This exhibition provides a look at some of the visual culture of the original PPC, including photographs of marches and rallies, press coverage, and a contemporary public response to a mural in Resurrection City called the ‘hunger wall,’ in addition to showcasing the efforts of the new PPC and a portfolio of Justseeds posters created in solidarity with their actions.
