G.A.T.S. Manifesto:

"Based upon the statement that "Blank walls equal blank minds"
G.A.T.S. aims to give the city a voice: A rebellious and unapologetic
voice that is against everything wrong with this sytem. With
spraycans, slap tags, markers, wheatpaste and other tools of self-
_________expression we will scream and we will be heard.
In a time when graffiti has been demonized and called ugly we pledge
to expose its importance in the realm of politics and raise it to the
level no other kind of art has reached. We worry not about the
legalities of our actions, but of the message we tryt o convey. We
know that if graffiti didn't change anything they would make it
legal.
We unite with people based on out main tasks, which are as follows:

Stop the war on graffiti/youth
Bring political life to people, especially the youth
Create public opinion
Bring advanced organization into graffiti
Bust missions as to promote graffiti as an art

In as few words as possible: We are anti-capitalism and pro-
graffiti."

Its about time attention was brought to the graf artists and writers who have something to say. I've seen other pieces by other graf artists who are starting to put political and social messages in their work all over the city. The weak-minded will still whine about "vandalism," but in the absence of a media (other than KPFK and the net) that can tell the truth about our world, the youth will find other means to get the message across. Read the writing on the walls!
