The poster is printed in red and black text on an offwhite background. At the top, red text reads [FREE the INDICTED ATTICA INMATES! / Support the Brothers' Demands. / 1. Drop the Charges. / 2. Indict the real criminals. / 3. Implement the 28 demands.] In the center is an image of inmates at the Attica Correctional facility during the riots. It depicts two men, one wearing a cloth over his head and sunglasses, both arms raised in the air with clenched fists. Directly behind him is another man wearing a vee- necked shirt, holding his clenched right fist in the air. There is a clenched fist in the foreground. In the background is a large crowd of men, also with raised clenched fists. A long high wall is visible in the distance. At bottom center is the text [SPONSORED BY THE OPEN CENTERS COMMITTEE]. At the bottom left is a small imprint for the RPM Print Co-Op.
