Coffee for Canada Means Blood for Angola: Don't Buy General Food(s) Poster (1972)
A silkscreen poster from the The Southern Africa Information Group, a Canadian activist organization active in the 1970s, urging people in Canada to boycott General Food's Angolan harvested coffee. General Foods, one of the largest coffee producer at the time, was believed to be financially supporting the Portuguese colonial government by purchasing large quantities of Angolan coffee, thereby contributing to a system that profited from the labor of African farmers.
This appeal for consumer action emerged during Angola’s struggle for independence from Portugal, which lasted from the early 1960s to the mid-1970s. By highlighting the connections between Canadian consumerism and Angola’s fight for national liberation, the Southern Africa Information Group sought to raise awareness and encourage political and economic pressure against colonial exploitation.
