<b>CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: The Feminist Agenda: KUETCWGE’s Collaborative Zine Project</b></p>

It’s 2020, we are in the midst of a global pandemic, and November’s election will determine the U.S. presidency and its policies for the next four years. Regardless of who wins, the existing two-party system has failed to prioritize the material needs of women,
children, and gender minorities. This reality is exacerbated for those who experience compound oppression at the intersections of race, ability, sexuality, class, and more.<br>
<br>
<b>With this zine, we would like to dream with our community about what a truly feminist political future would look like if we addressed issues facing women, children, and gender minorities.</b><br>
<br>
Please join us by submitting an 8.5 x 11” (standard size printer paper) page for inclusion in this collaborative zine project by
<b><u>September 30th</u></b>. Your page should address one or both of the following prompts:</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<ul type="disc" style="margin-bottom: 0in;margin-top:0in">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
