We've been kinda quiet this summer, mostly working on the upcoming issue of Post Script and printing free anti-genocide/anti-colonialism zines. BUT we will be vending at 2014 Fest on 8/3 alongside a ton of amazing artists and musicians! Community connection is important now more than ever 🫂🌱 so come say hi and we can make plans for an uncertain future together

Beloved midwesterners! 🗣️ We are living in scary times, which means it's important to organize and connect now more than ever. Here's some community stuff we'll be a part of soon:

First pic is us at the Punks 4 Palestine Benefit we helped organize recently. Thanks for showing up to that! We will be helping organize a Punks 4 Congo/Punks Against Genocide show very soon. More details on that to come.

On 8/3, we will be vending at the beautiful and gorgeous 2014 Fest put on by and 🐊 There will be bands, art, food — and we will be popped up slinging zines and raising awareness about mobilization in the burbs! Will have free anti-genocide zines 🍉
Also, if you would like to vend at the fest too, you can apply through the vendor application on slide 3 :)

Lastly, we are extremely hyped to release Post Script #2, a digest-sized zine about our music scene and how to keep it safe for everyone ❤️ That will be coming out in the next month or so, keep your eyes peeled!

S**t feels very apocalyptic these days, but our reaction to fascist legislation and abuse of power must be to organize and build even stronger community! We can start community gardens and lead biking initiatives and form libraries of shared resources and cook food for hungry neighbors and play benefit shows and have loving conversations with friends and makes zines! We have the power! Love y'all xx
