The cover can be printed in color (if you have access to color printing/copying). The rest of the zine (as a separate pdf) is in black and white.<BR><BR>Feel free to print, copy and share these with anyone and everyone!<BR><BR>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:<BR><BR><A href="https://www.yousendit.com/download/dklxRm93aFI5NVZjR0E9PQ" rel=nofollow target=_blank>https://www.yousendit.com/download/dklxRm93aFI5NVZjR0E9PQ</A><BR><BR>The link ends in a week. If you need it sent to you again, pleas
e let me know!<BR><BR>For those of you who lack the ability to print these out but would like your very own paper copy to hold in your hands, please send me your mailing address! <BR><BR>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!<BR><BR>Thanks again for being part of this! <BR><BR>vikki<BR><BR><I><SPAN class=ecxnfakPe>Resistance</SPAN> <SPAN class=ecxnfakPe>Behind <SPAN class=ecxnfakPe>Bars</SPAN></SPAN>: The Struggles Of Incarcerated Women</I>, <BR><SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>(winner of the 2009 PASS Awards) <A href="http://resistancebehindbars.org/" target=_blank>http://resistancebehindbars.org</A></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
