Why The Mona Lisa Doesn't Talk To Grand Juries

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

The latest social justice calendar from labor artist Ricardo Levins Morales is now available for free download. In addition to significant historical labor events and actions, the July calendar features an image of the Mona Lisa dressed as a worker, mysteriously saying "I don't talk to grand juries." Morales provided Union City with a link to the Grand Jury Resistance Project which notes that "Because of their broad subpoena powers and secretive nature, grand juries have been used by the government to gather information on political movements and to disrupt those movements by causing fear and mistrust."
