May 2020 marked the 50th anniversary of the Kent State and Jackson State massacres, which set off a historically large-scale student strike across the nation. With the anniversary as an entry point and frame of reference, this 96-page full color publication uses posters, buttons, pamphlets, flyers, zines, and more—to examine the broader scope of student movements that both led up to and followed those of May 1970. Based on Interference Archive’s online exhibition of the same name, Walkout: A Brief History of Student Organizing focuses on how student organizing emerged in the post-World War II era as the avenue through which postwar generations could participate in public dialogue and critique existing systems, becoming voices of change. Organized by decade, materials in this publication focus on student organizing in the United States but make reference a the broader global context of student protests in France, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, and Canada.

Highlighting the work and words of Black artists, the risograph prints available in this fundraiser originated as Instagram posts recommended by a group of artists the organizers have worked with through the collaborative artist publication prompt:. The prints constitute a mini archive of how artists in our wider community have responded to ongoing violence and recent protests over police brutality, using social media as a space for reflection or collectivization. Proceeds benefit organizations that are supporting people of color and working to dismantle racist institutions. Special thanks to our printer, Endless Editions, for supporting this project.

America is Invading Itself
America is Invading Itself
Publisher Dale Zine
Author Bobuq Sayed
Friends and family who are confused about what's going on in America right now, especially non-Black folks and those of you abroad, I want to spell it out: After the murder of George Floyd by a racist white police officer, protestors took to the streets to demand justice for Black folks, who have been systemically disempowered by the political system and murdered without repercussions by police since the conception of this country (modern policing here begun with patrols to recapture runaway slaves); The ensuing demonstrations gained steam because the violent inequality that Floyd's death represents is part of the racist bedrock of America, which continues to keep Black folks down through housing policies like redlining, through education, through income inequality, through access to public services and healthcare, through prisons filled with Black folks, and even with deaths from covid-19 in America so disproportionately affecting Black folks; What we are seeing now is the military being mobilized against protestors who are demanding equality. These are tactics dictators use to quell rebellion. Please do not let the media convince you that looting is the important narrative at play here. Black folks have spent 400 years trying to appeal to the moral sense of dominant culture for equality and it hasn't worked, property can be replaced

Author Display Distribute (eds.)
The Black Book Assembly was a transnational gathering of activists, publishers, artists, and musicians that took place across various locations in Hong Kong in 2017 and 2019. Unable to organize renewed efforts since then, the question "Why black?" remained as a meta-inquiry to an as-of-yet-unknown life in common, beyond the bounds of race, class, nation state, gender and ability. The More-Than-Half-a-Year-in-Review newsletter—as a printed bridge to this group disparately not yet a group, certainly not an institution, and maybe not even a community—continues updates and dialogues between its various participants, spread from Hong Kong to Fukushima, Yogyakarta and Wuhan. A second edition is currently in production, to be released by Seoul anarchist network Anarclan. | www.blackbook.hk

COVID-19 Action & Informative Design Series
Publisher Instagram/Raina Wellman/Lauren Sarkissian
Author Raina Wellman (and certain collabs with Lauren Sarkissian)
This document is made up of informational posts I created to inform people about COVID-19 and other health/social issues. I took inspiration from my ongoing research project on infectious disease & visual communication, which has primarily focused on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, syphilis, and smallpox. The projects “Shame is a Bad Public Health Tool”, “Pandemiquette,” “Assessing Symptoms and Risks,” “COVID-19 Updates,” and “Practical Guide to Protesting & Pandemic Prevention” were created in collaboration with Lauren Sarkissian, a MPH candidate at University of Washington. Both in collaborations with Lauren and independently, the goal of this work is to make urgent and often complicated information accessible, clear, and based in ongoing research.

Safer in the Streets
Safer in the Streets
Publisher Safer in the Streets Collective
Author Safer in the Streets Collective
A zine on best practices for dealing with the police from a cartoonist collective. As people hit the streets across America to protest the murder of George Floyd and stand for Black lives, we’ve all seen authorities respond to our protests against police brutality with more police brutality. Now no one can plausibly deny that the police are violent, regardless of whether demonstrators are breaking windows or just exercising their alleged freedoms. And yet, we cannot allow the cops to beat the resistance out of us. Safer in the Streets is a tool for protesters that illustrates best practices for dealing with the police. In the series, seven different cartoonists interpret a basic principle of street tactics, from snake marches to how to make sure you don’t break your fingers. It’s free to read and share for everyone, and it’s formatted to print as a two-sheet zine for passing out. Compliance won’t protect us out there, so we need to be smart, careful, and brave if we’re going to be safer in the streets.
