End The Sanctions

The billboard above will appear on northbound U.S. Highway 101 at Grand Ave just south of San Francisco on Monday August 28th. Right click on this image then click {save} to download it.

We live in an age where morality has taken a back seat to self-interest, where human life is assigned a worth by the Pentagon, and where justice is jailed without trial or verdict in the corridors of the U.N Security Council.

In this billboard, we admittedly simplify the story of the Iraqi people’s ten years of suffering. But we also remind motorists as they drive by, that every 12 minutes a child dies in Iraq as a result of U.S. led sanctions. During a typical 34 minute commute, three Iraqi children will have perished, as additional testimonials to the “effectiveness” of the U.S.-led embargo on Iraq. We ask you to look at the smiling child in this billboard and to imagine her dead by the time you reach your destination. Can you live with that?
