POWER TO THE PEOPLERepro Anti-War Protest Slogan Button

A large 2.25” pinback button with the phrase ‘Power to the People.’

As American involvement in Vietnam grew in the 1960s, some protestors – many of them students vulnerable to the draft – started to use the phrase Power to the People as they spoke out against oppression, especially by the elder generation.

The phrase has been used ever since in film, song and political movements to remind politicians that power flows from the people, and does not reside only in the ones on top.

Wear this button while drawing a picket sign, while getting out the vote, or while feeling the power.
