Cartoons from GI Papers published in April - The GI Movement (2) - Solidarity forever

I am reproducing these cartoons so the readers can get a fuller idea of the concerns and interests of the GI movement. If you own the copyright on any of these and want them removed, contact me at james_lewes@yahoo.com. If the content of the cartoons offends you, I apologize, but as Robert Crumb once wryly observed they are only lines on paper.
We are collective minds with a collective desire. We are a unity of GIs expresssing ourselves, silenced only by the limits of our ideals. No inhibitions can keep us from our need for freedom, or the right to express our needs, or to demand them when the oppression becomes too great.
Our unity is the struggle for a change. Our motivation is the realization that there has to be a change. Our will is the anticipation of support and solidarity. Our goal is moralistic freedom, the end of oppression, a unity of equality and respect for all human beings.
We may be hoping for too much and we may be dreaming. But who of you can deny the same desire, the same need, or the same dream? Who of you has not realized what we have? And who of you has attempted to express your views or to change the world. (Fragging Action, Masthead)
