Dear Friends, Subscribers, and family!

1.jpg

What does it mean for landless indigenous folks currently in struggle and in poverty, to be journalists, radio, video producers, educators, artists and researchers, while still worrying about border fascism paper searches, holding down two to three jobs, navigating Non-profit industrial complexes, budget kkkuts, racism, po'lice abuse, ablism, and case mis-managers? It means a revolution of people, not dictated by any philanthro-pimped dollars, or systems of control, are demanding their voices be silenced no LONGER!

This is a terrifying, fascinating, unbelievably difficult concept that can't occur without your help. You, the family of readers, listeners, watchers, supporters, revolutionary donors.

But, as you all know, POOR is in fact poor. We are a multi-generational, multi-lingual, multi-racial cru of po' folks tryin to hold it down guided by our ancestors, our elders, our spirits, and ourselves. We make media and art and education in our indigenous circle, accessible to ALL voices, languages and perspectives. We use media and art as tools to fight the ongoing onslaught of criminalization, oppression and hate working to evict us, gentrify us, abuse us, incarcerate us, starve us and silence gente pobre locally and globally.


Soooooo, please, if you haven't already become a Community Support Member for as little as $10, $20, 50 or-$100.00 or you are able to give more. Please do. Now. by check or on-line. Our snail mail address is 2940 16th street #301 San Francisco, Ca 94103

Keep this Revolution of Art, Media, Education for ALL peoples Outside the Institution, Alive!

Blessings and Prayers,

Your Prensa POBRE/POOR Magazine Family
