Overview
This t-shirt advocates 'For A Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific'.
The Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific Movement was formed in 1980 to widen the struggle against nuclear testing in the Pacific to independence from colonial powers.
T-shirts are cheap and easy ways to disseminate protest and activism. This t-shirt borrows from tourist imagery where the Pacific is frequently represented by sun, sea and palm trees, and indigenous peoples in customary activities.
