Activist Family Handbook
We took our first Baby Bloc zine
to the Mama Gathering in LA
in 2003. People were really supportive, and Laurel and Bruce started
thinking somebody ought to write a book about the Activist Family Movement.
So, inspired by activist families everywhere, we decided to do it ourselves!
You
can help! (See below.)
We expect to get all Handbook submissions
in this summer and to edit our little hearts out through fall.
(We're moving and traveling at the same time, so we'll see.) The
Book should be ready to publish in early 2005. We have feelers out
to publishers, but if you know any good ones, please introduce us.
Call For Submissions for
