Zine Making

TransOhio is coming to Dayton to work with Gatlyn Dame Group members to make some Zines! Zines help spread the word of human and trans rights!

Join us at the Library on the 3rd Floor! Lets get creative!!

Zines have a long history in activism and queer and
trans activism specifically. Before the internet, before LGBT
centers, zines were one of the methods that our people could communicate and share information. Zines are small magazines that are collections of art, writing, personal stories, community resources, etc.

This is the zine that we put together in 2023 for example: https://tinyurl.com/TransOhioZine2023
