Please help the zine mobile get back on the road! 
Dear beloved community: After a few months of rest and regrouping, it’s time for the zine mobile to get back in action! AND WE HUMBLY REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
What we need more than anything is GAS IN THE TANK AND SOME ROUTINE MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE. If you you have $5, $10, $20, or even $50 or $100 to help support the work of this free traveling library and resource/reading room, please CLICK THE LINK ABOVE TO DONATE! Donors of all levels will receive our heartfelt gratitude and a copy of Jenna Freedman’s zine chronicling the zine mobile’s inaugural journey! If a financial contribution isn’t available to you (and even if it is), please consider spreading the word! We also love encouragements and general positive energy our way…
Where are we headed? We’re hoping to make it to Chicago for an impromptu appearance at Zine Fest this weekend, and soon after we’ll be headed to San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico!
More info coming soon. Thank you so much for your support of the work we do!
