We’re gearing up for issue 6 of the zine and thinking about how we want to move forward. We’re going to be choosing a different charity to raise funds for in the future. From 2018 to 2022, all of our donations to Mental Health First Aid, a skills-based training course that teaches participants about mental health and substance-use issues, have totaled $5,861. A huge accomplishment!! All the while we’ve worked to keep costs low for readers, at just $5 per issue. We’ve sent out over 650 orders of the zine, and most of the printing/mailing costs have been contributed by the administration team.
Thank you to all the contributors to the zine, and to everyone who donated funds to buy a copy of our zine, Reserve and Renew. We look forward to continuing the project and creating new ways to get involved in the discussion. Look for the call for submissions for issue 6 to open in October 2022.
