San Quentin Zine Project

The Stop San Quentin Outbreak Coalition is creating a zine highlighting artwork, writing, and reflections from currently incarcerated community members on the COVID-19 outbreak and current conditions inside San Quentin State Prison. The zine will document emergent and unique cultural practices amidst the ever shifting reality of COVID-19 behind bars within our community, document the organizing that took place in response to COVID, create space for artistic expression and dignified storytelling by those directly impacted (and compensate artists/writers for their contributions), shift public perceptions of incarcerated people, and educate the public on the urgent need for prison decarceration in order to save lives. 

We are fundraising to provide honorariums for incarcerated artists and our Inside Editors for their contributions to the #StopSanQuentinOutbreak Zine.
