Group of 11 Safeway Boycott Demonstration Photographs. San Leandro, California, 1973. Black-and-white photographs with uniform press stamps on versos reading: “Photo by Friday Observer, San Leandro, Calif. Copyright 1973.” Photographs depict picketers gathered outside Safeway supermarket locations during inclement weather, many wearing rain ponchos and carrying protest signs, with legible slogans including “Don’t Shop Safeway,” “Safeway Cheats You Too,” “Safeway Scabs on Farm Workers,” “We Only Want Money,” and references to farm workers and lettuce cutters’ wages. Several images show small groups stationed at storefront entrances and parking lots, while others capture wider views of the demonstration along surrounding streets, with period automobiles, Safeway signage, and neighborhood context visible, including the “Marina Faire” location. One image documents interior picketing activity near store entrances. The group forms a cohesive visual record of a localized labor and consumer boycott movement, likely connected to broader United Farm Workers–era activism, with consistent authorship and stamping indicating press or newspaper use.

Each approximately 5 x 7 ".
