The performance-artist collective Brick x Brick stages a public protest at the Woman's March in United Nations Plaza, the gateway to San Francisco City Hall. Members of the group wore clothing emblazoned with what they described as Trump’s “statements of misogynistic violence.” The women formed a line and joined hands at the area in front of City Hall. They wore jumpsuits printed with black-and-white bricks, on top of which were laid colored panels containing texts such as “Bimbo” and “Grab her by the pussy” — all sexist words and phrases uttered by the US president, Donald J. Trump.
Woman's March's took place all across the country. Millions surged into the streets to protest the Trump presidency in what was likely the biggest single-day protest in American history.

Hey people, Starconyx here, and this little post is basically just to thank GI Brick for what is pictured above. So, for those confused, I spent some (read: All) of my gold points at GI Brick on a JFSR prototype (what's pictured above). So, after a long wait (Almost a month, since the GI Brick people were out of town) I open up the package, and find 2 of these beauties!
Not sure if this was intentional or not, but either way, it's appreciated!
Don't ask if they are for trade. They ARE NOT!

A brick is a block made of clay burnt in a kiln. It is one of the primary building materials known to mankind. Over time, bricks have appeared, gained prominence, lost importance and then come to the forefront again with various styles of architecture. Burnt bricks were used in ancient Indian, Babylon, Egypt and Roman civilizations. They are still being used as filler materials for framework structures as well as to construct load bearing structures. Down the ages, there have been various interesting historic and cultural references to bricks.
Brick kiln labourers form a large portion of workers in the informal sector in India. Workers, who are usually from the poorest sections of Indian society, are recruited against a loan by labour contractor or employer, which they have to repay by working for them. However, as they lose control over the debt and cannot leave until the employer decides when it’s paid off, they cannot realistically leave the ‘employment’. They are bonded labours.
The working and living conditions are sometimes extremely harsh. As workers usually live within the kiln, there are high levels of hazardous substances such as arsenic, burnt plastic and dust. Workers, including children, are frequently injured at work. The average working day consists of 15-16 hours and the great majority of children do not attend school or have any play time. The accommodation is usually overcrowded, commonly with several families living together in one single room, with outdoor toilets.
Kiln workers have little or no knowledge of their basic rights, entitlements and bonded labour prohibitions. Being from the most vulnerable segments of society and lacking organisation, bonded labourers remain “invisible” to the authorities.
