Rosita Goes to Work
by AdministratorAugust, 2008
We like to see our play the full range of roles that art should play, from beaming benevolently at you from your wall to engaging in the good fight for a better world. Recently friends in the California labor movement got with us to rush out a bunch of buttons addressing a hot issue. They were rallying labor forces to oppose the latest referendum. This was part of an effort to illegalize access to abortion by increments, this time taking the form of a parental consent law. our friends came up with a concept which we put together for them. It used our image of Rosita, the Latina counterpart to Rosie the Riveter. it shows her saying “Stop Propositioning Teen Girls!” Her shirt says “No on Prop 4.” We hear they flew off the table at the state labor convention.
