A flyer urging people to call Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and demand he veto HF1, a bill repealing MinnesotaCare coverage for undocumented adults. The flyer has bold text reading “CALL WALZ TO TELL HIM: VETO HF1! PROTECT HEALTHCARE FOR IMMIGRANTS!” It states that the Minnesota House and Senate passed the bill and criticizes lawmakers for supporting it. The flyer provides a sample script for callers, emphasizing that denying healthcare to immigrants is inhumane and harmful to all residents. At the bottom, it lists the governor’s phone number: 651-201-3400, and includes the logo of MIRAC (Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee).

A small advocacy sticker from LUCE Massachusetts is posted to a city pole at Harvard, urging passersby to report ICE sightings and verify enforcement activity through the community hotline. Below it, layers of older stickers and weathered tape add to the textured urban collage—evidence of civic messaging and street culture intersecting. The sticker’s bold yellow and black design stands out against the faded background, capturing a snapshot of immigrant rights activism in a public space.

A politically charged flyer near Harvard Square calls for a demonstration at the Cambridge Common, urging the university community to “Stand Up Harvard.” Affixed to a utility pole along Massachusetts Avenue, it features the Harvard crest and contrasting portraits of public figures, symbolizing tension between authority and academic independence. The red-brick sidewalks and blurred foot traffic behind it evoke the constant movement and civic engagement that define this historic Cambridge neighborhood.

A layered set of flyers taped to a pole near Harvard Square reveals the intense atmosphere surrounding debates on the Israel–Gaza conflict. The underlying poster promotes a “Global Day of Action for Gaza,” while a separate sheet on top adds a sharply critical response, contrasting the slogans of various groups with mocking commentary. This kind of street pole collage — layered, confrontational, and public — captures the friction between activism and counter-activism common around Harvard Square’s sidewalks, where local and global politics often meet in view of passing students and commuters.
