I have been thinking a lot about South Africa in the dying days of apartheid. I was part of the last cohort of white students to get called up for military service; I objected, destroyed my papers and did not go. I spent a few years terrified that they would come looking for me, but they never did.
This poster is an offset litho in black, produced by the ECC, Cape Town This poster depicts conscripts who demanded the right not to serve in the SADF. The text reads: "WE CALL FOR A JUST PEACE IN OUR LAND : WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE MORAL RIGHT OF SOUTH AFRICANS TO EXERCISE FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE AND CHOOSE NOT TO SERVE IN THE SADF : WE CALL FOR AN END TO CONSCRIPTION". This poster was digitised by Specialised Archival Solutions in 2009. Reproduced in "Images of Defiance: South African Resistance posters in the 1980s" on page 131 (number 232) of the 1991 SAHA / Ravan Press edition and the 2004 SAHA / STE Publishers edition. It is also included in the SAHA virtual exhibition - 'The Future is Ours: Commemorating Youth in the Struggle'.

With tens of millions of dollars in funding withheld, the bottom quickly fell out of a number of organizations. Lawyers cut clients adrift. “They were like, ‘No new clients’—and not only no new clients, but ‘No consultations, no pro se workshops, and withdraw from every single pro bono client.’”

First Trump came for immigrants. Then he came for their lawyers.
