Small poster printed on light purple paper with red images. In the center is a large bottle with a label that has "Red Ripple" printed in red. The same label is repeated in the upper right. The bottle is breaking through glass that has "Bank Americ" in large red letters. The bottom right corner has a cartoon drawing of a man saying "Remember Kidz...don't forget to save your empties!!!" Verso has yellow text. On February 25, 1970, protesters in the UC Santa Barbara college town of Isla Vista burned down the local branch of the Bank of America as an expression of anger against capitalism. [LMC]
