Virtual hands-on zine workshop: The History and Power of Zines in Activist Movements Thurs, October 8 @ 6:30 PM EST About the Workshop: This workshop will introduce the history & continued impact of zine-making in activist and organizing spaces.

The United States can be better than that. There is time to be better.”
