San Francisco, 1992: Conservative polititians in the White House, Governor's Mansion and Mayor's Office are marching in lockstep across a nation gripped by a dreary recession and 12 years of unrepentant Republicrat rule. All over the city of Saint Francis, thousands of homeless people roam the streets. In anger and desperation, they unite with a band of scruffy urban radicals to carry out a militant campaign of mass organized squatting.
They call themselves HOMES NOT JAILS!
This is a fictionalized versions of the Homes Not Jails story, in which the author participated early and often.
COMING SOON
to a vacant building near you

Picture on cover of "Homes Not Jails" book.
I would like to see credit where credit is due.
I drew this in late '93- 1994 while I was squatting with the San Francisco chapter of Homes Not Jails- just ask Jeremy.
It was not a fun time, but met some wonderful people and had some memorable experiences.. but this is wrong to take credit and profit from some one else' blood and toil.- Dontcha think?
