I found the above poster in Columbia Heights a few weeks ago. In looking at the SOA Whatch Web site, it must have been one of several posted prior to their April 16, 2012, event when their activists took to the streets around Capitol Hill.

Mural, or Street Art? — Silenced George
December 6, 2011Last time I was on U Street I saw the mural below at the southwest corner of U and 15th Street, NW. While it’s scale suggests it’s a mural, it strikes me more to be akin to street art. Does anyone know if this was painted before Occupy DC or in response to it?
"The territory comprising Park View extends from Gresham Street north to Rock Creek Church Road, and from Georgia Avenue to the Soldiers' Home grounds, including the triangle bounded by Park Road, Georgia Avenue, and New Hampshire Avenue" (from Directory and History of Park View, 1921.)

April 18, 2013I’ve been finding a lot of these Stop Deportations posters around the community lately. I like both the graphic and the message.
