Portland Cascadia Zine and Resource Guide: First Issue

Cascadia organizers working through the Portland Branch have released their first, fully illustrated and hand drawn Zine and Resource Guide. The project compiles poetry, art, essays and critically examines issues from around the bioregion, incorporating elements of deep green ecology as well indigenous knowledge and a detailed resource guide for the Portland area.

Below is a full copy of the zine. For those who appreciate the work that has gone into creating it, as well as the writing and art, think about donating to their independent fundraising campaign: http://www.indiegogo.com/cascadia-pdx
