[Radical_childcare] Issue 4 out now! Don't Leave Your Friends Behind zine

[feministchildrearing at riseup.net]

Hello!

Below info about new issue of anarchafeminist zine geared towards the
non-parents in our midst, and thoughts on radical inclusive organising.
Also call out for new submissions, as the past issues of ths zine (plus
the new pieces) will be now made into a book (deadline March 2011).

CRAP! Collective have written a piece describing some experiences so far
on organising within the collective/community, within the new issue 4.

See our blog for past issues of zine: www.feministchildrearing.blogspot.com

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Attached as 2 pdfs is the latest issue of Don't Leave Your Friends Behind!
The cover can be printed in colour (if you have access to colour
printing/copying). The rest of the zine (as a separate pdf) is in black
and white.

Feel free to print, copy and share these with anyone and everyone!

Don't Leave Your Friends Behind #4 also has a wonderful centerfold about
this year's Allied Media Conference and the radical childcare report from
the US Social Forum in Detroit. Because the pictures make that part of the
zine too big to attach here, I've compressed it via yousendit and you can
download it for yourself here:

The link ends in a week. If you need it sent to you again, please let
Vikki know (email below)!

And finally, we are turning Don't Leave Your Friends Behind into a book!
We will be including the pieces from the zine series, but are, of course,
also looking for other perspectives and experiences. The call for
submissions is below. Our deadline is March 15, 2011!
