Abstract

A publication of 4 separate zines made up of 12 pages each. The zines delve into the history of the Americans with Disabilities Act, trans women and their music artistry, lack of lesbian media, and inmate working conditions. These zines aim to not only raise awareness towards these issues, but spark action from readers by providing practical and doable options to pursue. With societal attitudes and political administrations becoming more conservative, spreading this information and awareness is vital to ensure that these alternatives ways of life are not forcibly erased.

Comments

Reviewed and passed for accessibility.

I created these zines to educate others about hidden topics that need more social relevance, especially under our current administration. Empathy is becoming a scarce resource; a frightening and horrifying reality. Working to understand the struggles minorities face are the building blocks of creating a better world where all are accepted. As a transgender lesbian, speaking out about these injustices and raising awareness felt pertinent to supporting these communities and uplifting their experiences.
