Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign T-Shirts
We’re delighted to bring you some new t-shirts this week which we are selling on bahalf of, and in order to raise money for, the Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign (NSC). The NSC was founded in 1978 to support the Sandinista Revolution which overthrew the Somoza dictatorship, established democracy, political rights and social and economic justice, and became a beacon of hope in a region devastated by war and dominated by US imperialism. In recent years they have adapted their work to the changing context, both globally and in Nicaragua, but remain committed to the fundamental values of democracy and justice.

 Printed in white on a sand t-shirt. Stop US Interference in Latin America: the US administration has interfered in almost all the countries in Latin America at one time or other: engineering coups, financing guerilla armies, strategically withholding aid, actively invading and more. This t-shirt names some of the countries which have suffered from such interference: Cuba, El Salvador, Mexico, Grenada, Nicaragua, Chile, Venezuela, Panama, Guatemala, Ecuador, Bolivia and Honduras.
This t-shirt is also available as a women’s fitted t-shirt, printed in bright pink on navy blue. |
The small man with the large hat is Nicaragua’s best known national hero. From 1926 until his untimely death Augusto Nicolás Calderón Sandino defied the military might of the United States whose Marines had occupied the country since 1909. In 1933 the last contingent left Nicaragua; six long years of combat by a handful of workers and peasants had achieved that victory. Sandino was murdered in 1934, on the direct orders of Anastasio Somoza Garcia who later admitted that he had done this with the backing of the US Ambassador. Sandino was not only a fighter but a prolific writer and gifted speaker. Throughout the long years of the US-backed Somoza dictatorships, and ever since, Sandinismo has become the rallying cry for freedom, self-determination, non-intervention and dignity for the Nicaraguan people.

  Two wicked Day of the Dead t-shirt designs based on Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos celebrations. On November 2nd, gatherings, parades and festivities are held to remember and celebrate the lives of friends and family members who have died. Models of skeletons are built, often life-size, and dressed accordingly; for example to look like a seller of rice, a business man, a musician and so on. Other traditions include building private altars honouring the deceased, using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favourite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts. Printed on a black t-shirt, these t-shirts are being sold on behalf of the Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign and both designs are also available as kids’ t-shirts. |
