Gen Zine: DIY publications find new life as a form of resistance against Trump
  • A recent workshop at the Los Angeles central public library attracted nearly 100 participants engaged in creating zines, small DIY magazines that serve as a platform for sharing information on pressing issues such as ICE raids and local elections. This resurgence of zines, reminiscent of their popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, reflects a community response to the current political climate marked by fear and uncertainty.
  • The revival of zines as a form of expression highlights the importance of grassroots communication in times of political turmoil. As communities seek to empower themselves through information sharing, these DIY publications serve not only as a creative outlet but also as a vital tool for resistance against federal threats and social injustices.
