Poster printed with red and black ink on newsprint as part of the March 1980 edition of the publication "Revolutionary Communist Youth." The single sheet poster appears on the back side of pages 16 and 13. A graphic of a woman wearing a woven head scarf who holds a rifle fills the center on the page. She appears in front of a white circle on a gray background. Text in a red banner at the top of the page reads, "March / With The / Working / Class On / May Day ''80 / Don''t go to work, Don''t go to school, / Take history into our hands!" Small white font at bottom reads, "International Women''s Day-March 8." Red text aligned at bottom right reads, "Break the Chains! / Unleash the Fury of Women / As A Mighty Force For Revolution." "Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade" is printed in black font at bottom left. The pages on the back of the poster show three articles: On page 16, a story continued from page five titled "Working Class...," and on page 13, "The Press Lies, The Draft: A Case Study," and "Ali: People''s Champ Becomes Louisville Lip."
