Sam Friedman, Author at Tempest

$Two illustrations sit side-by-side. The left illustration shows a punctured pipeline, with oil spilling out and covering grassy land and plants. Two workers' helmets float at the edges of the oil spill. Smoke arises from three oil frackers lining the horizon. In one of the smoke clouds, it reads ‘CAPITALISM.’ And in the oil spill, it reads ‘HURTS THE WORKER. HURTS THE PLANET.’ The right illustration shows a collage of imagery representing things harming the world with things that could help the world. This includes a sunflower plant destroying a bomb, plants growing out of a police car, mushrooms growing out of a spilled bucket of toxic liquid, a person holding a sword and wearing a t-shirt that says DEMILITARIZE.$
