Artist's statement on this artwork originally published on the @laborcamp Instagram account:

Stories, events, ideas run into each other, overlap and blend. We need to stay safe from COVID, and be able to vote by mail. So we must protect the Postal Service, which is under direct attack from [the] Regime. Just like the protesters in Portland, brutalized by police, using umbrellas to shield themselves from bullets. It’s all in this report.
