In the wake of George Floyd, Tony McDade, Sean Reed, Breonna Taylor, Nina Pop, Rayshard Brooks, Malcolm Harsch, Dominique Alexander, Riah Milton, Robert Fuller, Oluwatoyin Salau, and the many more that Rest In Power— we have seen black folx and their accomplices rise up and fight the powers of racism world wide. This is just the beginning, its been 3 weeks, but we know that the duration of protests that create change are long-lasting and rigorous work. The Birmingham movement was 38 days, The Greensboro sit-ins lasted 176, The Freedom Riders was 227, The Chicago freedom movement was 232, and The Montgomery bus boycott was 382 days. 


We have witnessed many in our community doing the work to create real and tangible change. We see you and we honor you, alongside the names turned into hashtags, and the ancestors that brought us here. Keep doing the work, but with that same spirit, allow yourself to rest and take time to heal. We need all of us in this for the long haul. We must prioritize naps, food, mediation, however that looks for you, in order to continue to show up and out for the rebellion.

With that sentiment, we have collaborated with The Sistren to bring you this Special Edition of Even The Score. It comes to life at a very specific time for a very explicit purpose. We want to highlight an often delayed, ignored, or all together forgotten piece of the revolution; Healing & Rest.

May this zine be a resource used and handed out when fatigue, depression, exhaustion draws near. This edition is focuses on healing outlets for black folx first, but there are resources here for everyone. Spread this freely, that is the point. Happy Rebellion!
