STOP APARTHEID BOYKOT SHELL!

STOP APARTHEID BOYKOT SHELL!

Translation from Dutch: "Stop apartheid - Boycott Shell!" This button is a take-off of the Shell corporate logo - a yellow clam shell with red details. This version extends the shape of the shell (and the button itself) downward to the right so the red color of the outline appears to be dripping, bringing blood to mind. The Shell boycott campaign in the Netherlands was organized by the Komitee Zuidelijk Afrika (Holland Committee on Southern Africa), based in Amsterdam, and Werkgroep Kairos (Working Group Kairos), based in Utrecht.
