This zine was created as a complimentary project to & in celebration of the release ofLet This Radicalize You: Organizing & the Revolution of Reciprocal CarebyKelly Hayes&Mariame Kaba. Designed byMax Canner.“In writing our book,Let This Radicalize You, we set out to create the kind of resource that we wish had existed for us when we were new to organizing. The book is a mashup of manifesto, advice, & lessons learned, & we hoped it would offer some accompaniment to newer organizers as they find their way. In the book, we share a great deal of wisdom from organizers with many years of experience. We cherish the lessons they shared with us, and we believe that their stories & insights will do newer organizers a world of good. But as the publication of our book approached, Mariame had the idea that we should create another, complimentary project — a zine that would uplift the voices of organizers with less than 3 years of experience. We loved this idea because our movements require a diversity of voices & a reciprocal exchange of ideas if we are to grow & thrive together. So we sponsored a writing contest with the intention of selecting four essays to feature in the publication. We received over 40 submissions & had a hard time selecting only 4 essays, so we decided to feature eight."— Kelly Hayes & Mariame Kaba°°°Kelly Hayesis aMenomineeauthor, organizer, movement educator, & photographer.
