Burning Knowledge, Shattering Lives: Ranganathan's Five Laws in the Shadows of Genocide

Cover of the zine "Ranganathan's Five Laws in the Shadows of Genocide"
"Ranganathan's (1931) Five Laws of Library Science emphasize accessibility, preservation, and the continued growth of knowledge and information. In stark contrast, the physical and cultural genocide in Gaza and Occupied Palestine demonstrates a systemic effort to erase Palestinian history, culture, and education, through the targeted destruction of libraries, archives, and academic institutions. This zine will introduce each of Ranganathan's five laws, and demonstrate how each law has been violated in Gaza and Occupied Palestine, as well as why this is relevant."

Atrocities Against Indigenous Canadians for dummies #1: Residential Schools

Black & white illustrations of flowers with cursive text saying "Introducing... Atrocities Against INdigenous Canadians for dummies, issue #1"
The first zine in this series discusses the awful practice of the Canadian government with help from various churches, to steal Indigenous children away from their families in order for the "Indian" to be removed from them at industrial schools across the country. Many Canadians feel this is ancient history but this zine lays the foundation for every rebuttal to people who think we should all be over it by now.
