OUR FIRST EVER DISABILITY CULTURE ZINE!
The National Youth Leadership Network is a youth-led organization that works to build power and community among young people with disabilities. This summer, our Zine Leadership Team put out a call for submissions to create an online zine about disability culture.
We received over 40 submissions from young people with disabilities all over the United States. Some were students. Others were poets. Everyone had a lot to say about disability culture. Our Zine Leadership Team edited submissions and compiled all the work into a zine. We are excited to share our zine with you. We learned so much about media-making in the process: mostly that by participating in disability culture, we are creating it.
To read our zine, visit http://zine.nyln.org
If you enjoy what you read, please consider making a donation to support the production of our next zine. You can make a donation at www.nyln.org. See the link in the lower left corner.
We would like to thank all contributors and volunteer editors for their hard work in making this edition of the NYLN Zine possible. This zine was made 100% for and by disabled youth!
WHAT IS A ZINE?
zine (prounounced "zeen" --- like the last syllable of "magazine") is a publication usually made by hand and mass produced by a copy machine. It revolutionized media making because anyone could make their own books and sell them for a few bucks. People also make online zines.
