The Relevance of the Prairieland Conviction to Printers and Zine Distributors

A COLLABORATIVE DRAFT STATEMENT REGARDING THE RELEVANCE OF THE PRAIRIELAND CONVICTION TO PRINTERS AND ZINE DISTRIBUTORS (posted without editing and without talking to anyone who might know more about the case than we do. We would rather open the dialogue & polish in the comments)

If you haven't been following the Prairieland "antifa terrorist enterprise" case, it ended pretty fucking bad. Comrades were convicted on federal felony charges based on activities such as owning a printer and moving a box of zines into a car.

Northern California: Foothill Radical Zinefair, Nov. 8

From Foothill Radical Zinefair (instagram)

We’re now just a few days until the zinefair! We’d like to remind everyone that while we’ve got a few ideas for discussions, please feel free to come and start your own, or lead your own workshop, or give your own impromptu skill share. We’ve scheduled a few things, but we won’t be sad if, as a collective, we decide to do something else. We want to create a space where there isn’t a divide between the givers and takers, teachers and students, zine makers and zine readers.

Report Back: One Year of Baltimore Zine Fest

From Rat Distro

In late winter of 2024 myself and a few friends were working on putting together the first Baltimore Zine Fest. We decided we wanted it to be outdoors, as we had no real venues that we could connect with to host such a radical free event, we landed on Herring Run park. Prior to this myself and others agreed that our anarchist and punk scenes needed a event that wasn’t just a punk show, we needed more community events. I’ve always been inspired by the Anarchist Book Fairs and wanted to replicate a similar experience with BZF but never had the time or energy to organize something like that until last year.
