Meet the #MWPZF2020 organizers: Cynthia E. Hanifin

An awe for the power of #stories is the thread that connects Cynthia E. Hanifin’s (she/her) work as a #zinemaker, writer, cultural organizer, and social worker.

Chicago’s 2021 Budget Survey is live until September 13th! Took less than 10 minutes. Tell Lightfoot where you want the city funds to go. And, mark this in your diaries—the city (and I’m assuming most cities) release these budget surveys annually! https://t.co/eF4lZRFL5B

[Story Club @StoryClubChi]

Perzine makers are some of the best storytellers in the zine community. We’re really excited to check out Midwest Perzine Fest next month!

[South Side Weekly @SouthSideWeekly]

For this year's Best of, we’re looking to showcase people and businesses that have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in remarkable ways, that have been beacons of hope and joy, or that simply will be sorely missed. Send us your picks at the link.

Were you on the ground at the Aug. 15 protest downtown? We’re collecting first-person accounts, photos, and video of what happened, especially moments of police escalation 🗣

[South Side Weekly @SouthSideWeekly]

Drawing on first-person accounts and video recordings, we offer a collage of what happened when police returned to the Columbus statue on July 17. According to dozens of accounts, police violence was widespread, indiscriminate, and reckless. https://t.co/jwmqUAGoqU

@rosamund I don’t think I could choose an overall favorite, but the diverse chorus of voices in @BeltPublishing’s Rust Belt Chicago anthology deeply resonated with me. Zoe Zolbrod’s contribution, The Last City I Loved, is particularly evocative of the iterations of the city I’ve known.

[Jasmine Davila @jasmined]

I'm excited to make my Write Club debut on August 18 (details here: https://t.co/OBtrjkKZLt).

Not sure to expect but I'm sure it will look something like this:

[Melody Ekstrom @mdemanatee]

Need a book? Yes, this is selfishly motivated because I need all of these bookstores.
