The new posters plastered around D.C. have a vintage look, but the Make America Great Again hats and references to tweets assure viewers that they’ve been designed recently.

The 4,000 posters come from Project Scholl, “a group of progressives committed to confronting white supremacy, violence, and oppression in all forms,” the group told DCist over email.

The project is named for German student Sophie Scholl, a young member of the anti-Nazi resistance movement executed by the Germans for treason after she was discovered distributing anti-war leaflets. She was 21.

“History repeats itself if we let it,” Project Sholl says. “By bringing back the resistance posters from the World War II era and updating them for 2017, we’re reminding Washington where extremism leads and that we all must do our part to resist.”

The posters, designed by artist Robert Russell, were put up over the weekend with the help of PR Group Movement Media, beginning with a smaller batch on Saturday and the rest on Sunday. There are seven versions in the current batch, which have been hung near the Trump hotel, on Georgia Ave., in Columbia Heights, by Capitol Hill, and elsewhere.

They depict classic motifs from World War II propaganda posters, like Uncle Sam. Only in these renditions, Uncle Sam has his hands over President Donald Trump’s mouth, or is pointing at the viewer above the text “no room for racists.”

So far, the posters are only in D.C., because the District “is full of so-called leaders who are complicit in their silence. We’re going for a jolt to the system to inspire them to get on the right side of history,” the group says. “If a twenty-year-old woman under threat of guillotine can speak out for what is right, it’s the least we can ask of a bunch of old white guys and their staffers safely ensconced in their Capitol Hill townhouses.”

Washington’s streets have long been a key spot for all kinds of political posters. In recent months, however, residents have reported a number of bigoted flyers, including ones falsely claiming to be from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

With one set of flyers using the same logo as a paramilitary group that fought the French resistance in World War II, this new slew of posters continues the trend of updating that era’s iconography for the modern day.

Project Scholl, which bills itself on its website as “a curated collection of resistance art for the modern era,” is bankrolled by Creative Majority PAC, which says on its website it is a super PAC “of the creative class, run by and for artists, musicians, and writers … to do what they do best: create art and use it to voice their concerns.” Creative Majority PAC had a little more than $120,000 on hand at the end of June, according to the Federal Elections Commission.
