Is print media still relevant? How can we sustain our movements by documenting them and vice versa? Members of Upping the Anti, Shameless Magazine, and MARG will share practical tools of collective participation, radical research, editing, and sustaining a print publication for over 10 years. We will learn about budgeting, maintaining long-term interest, and how to set up group structures that divide labor fairly. Participants will walk away knowing how to start and sustain a radical publication in print and online.
