The Lesbian Herstory Archives is pleased to announce a free, recurring craft night! All donations benefit LHA.

Summary: Zines and Activism will be an evening dedicated to zine-making, inspired by LHA’s collection. We will explore specific themes to inspire creativity, but participants are free to go beyond those themes. At the end of the night, we will have the opportunity to share our final products (if desired) and engage in a discussion about the zine-making process.
