This is a pamphlet entitled "Heads Survive by Sharing" which primarily serves to enumerate the resource needs of the Come!Unity Press. It has black text and rainbow graphical devices under the text: a fist holding a fountain pen, a camera, the united farm workers logo, and a marijuana leaf. It is particularly useful to us in telling us what materials and techniques were being used. It is split into four headings: layout, printmaking and platemaking aids, miscellaneous matter, and building supplies. Under layout, we can see materials such as scissors, magic markers, tape, glue, paint, and lettering to create a sort of collage, which is then photographically transferred to a lithographic plate, the materials for which we see in the next heading. The plates themselves are not listed, as it was not assumed potential donors had extra lithographic plates laying around, but q-tips, cotton rags, paper towels, and cotton balls are asked for. Under miscellaneous matter are materials more to do with the running of the space and social sphere, but just as relevant to the success of the press. Everything from coffee stirrers to wheatpaste in order to flypost posters is requested. The final category lists hardware needed for repairs. The flyer ends with a plea for (vegetarian) food and a request to set up a monthly pledge to the organization.
