Hi, we are the humans behind Zines for Palestine

  • We make a variety of educational zines about Palestine and the impacts of settler colonialism more broadly. Zines are easy-to-download PDF files, for you to print and fold at home.

    Zines are offered for free, please direct your funds to efforts on-the-ground in Palestine.

  • We are Steven (he/him, puertorriqueño) and Alex (they/them, white settler).

    We farm in rural Puerto Rico and make our research and artwork into zines that can be easily printed and shared.

  • We started making zines independent of each other some years ago.

    Over the last two years we’ve focused on creating zines that draw parallels to the settler-colonialism we see in Puerto Rico; we are canaries of what colonial and capitalist expansion is bringing to the world. With a particular focus on Palestine and Palestinian Liberation during the (still) ongoing genocide, because ultimately it's all the same fight.

  • Electricity and internet are not accessible where we live. So we build our zines offline, but design them digitally using a tablet.

    We'd love to do more works-on-paper but we lack the infrastructure to keep stuff safe and dry. One of the (many) reasons sharing PDF files—so they can be printed in a whole other part of the world—supports our work!
