Lapel Solidarity


Considering that EPRP was largely a clandestine organization in Ethiopia, this pinback badge or button was suitable for wearing only in Europe or North America, where it was produced by the WWFES, the Worldwide Federation of Ethiopian Students. It bears the EPRP's version of the hammer and sickle logo.

“Victory to Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Party”
