No pasaréis" ("They shall not pass") is the rallying cry this poster puts at the center, printed over a design of a fighter throwing a grenade, with the CNT-FAI anarchist labels in the corner. The slogan was made famous during the defense of Madrid in 1936, when Republican forces held the city against Nationalist advances, and it spread quickly across Republican posters. The CNT and FAI were anarchist organizations that backed the Republic and sent militia fighters to the front. Posters like this one were produced for mobilization and morale, and they show how Republican groups, many with very different politics, shared a common call to resist.
