New Arizine available!

Ashley collating the Arizine

It's been a few years, but we finally have a new edition of our Arizine available! Much thanks to Amherst College intern Ashley McCall, who, as a participant in the Pioneer Valley Citizen Summer, worked with us for two months.

She collected artwork from Arise artists (Ruben Santiago, Paul Midura), poetry from Arise poets (Norm Harris, Martina Robinson, me) and did interviews with many others, collecting their experiences in stories about fighting landlords, overcoming addiction, and reaching for their dreams.

The zine is free for all low-income people, but we hope that those who want a copy and who can afford it will make a donation for our next edition!  Call the Arise office at 734-4948 or email us at ariseforsocialjustice@gmail.com.
