Feeling overwhelmed by the climate crisis? Angry? Hopeful? Confused? Let’s turn those emotions into something tangible, creative, and radical—one zine at a time!

Activists have used zines (short for “magazines” or “fanzines”) for decades to challenge the status quo, build community, and make knowledge accessible. Whether you want to express eco-anxiety, critique corporate greenwashing, or dream up a brighter climate future, this workshop is your chance to make your voice heard.

No experience needed—just your thoughts, feelings, and a willingness to create!


What’s in Store?

  • Intro & Icebreaker – What’s your climate mood today? Let’s talk about how zines have powered movements for change.
  • Zines as Climate Action – From mutual aid to environmental justice, learn how self-publishing can be a tool for resistance.
  • Make Your Own Zine! Choose a theme, grab some materials, and start cutting, pasting, and writing!
  • Sharing & Next Steps: Want to distribute your zine? We’ll discuss photocopying, digital sharing, and zine fairs.

Bring yourself and your creativity. All other materials (scissors, glue, markers, stamps, and more) will be provided!
