| Abstract: |
This collection consists of printed material produced by Come!Unity Press from 1972
to 1977. Pamphlets and posters addressing a variety of activism topics such as gay
rights, women's rights, anti-facism, Native American rights, empowerment efforts for
specific communities, and humanitarian crises in Vietnam, are represented in this
assemblage of offset lithography prints. The pamphlets include poetry and appeals
for social change on a broad and occasionally conflicting range of issues, including
peace and anti-war efforts, gay rights and gay liberation, and international solidarity
movements. Come!Unity Press was a gay anarchist collective that provided free printing
materials and a shared living space for social and political activists. Operating
from 13 East 17th Street in New York City, beginning in 1971, this 24-hour printing
collective concentrated on publishing non-commercial alternative material on social
and political justice issues. Come!Unity Press explained their purpose by printing
slogans next to their logo stating "Survival by Sharing", "Unplug from Profit" and
"Equal Access to the Poor, Printing Movement Alternatives to Imperialism, War and
Rape."
