*Don't Leave your Friends Behind: Anarcha-Feminism & Supporting Mothers and Children*

When a radical woman becomes a mother she often finds herself left behind by her mostly childless peer group. The subculture and activist world often mimic the greater society's unreasonable expectations of mothers and children. Let's learn how to work together in new ways. This will be a discussion between both parents and non-parents, on concrete ways childfree allies can support mothers and children in their community. Good for everyone!

Vikki Law is a writer, mother and photographer. She is the author of many zines and co-edits "Tenacious: Art and Writing from Women in Prison" and is currently working on a book about resistance among incarcerated women.

China Martens is a single mother of a 20-year-old daughter and the author of "The Future Generation: A Zine-Book For Subculture Parents, Kids, Friends & Others" (an anthology of the last 15 years of her zine!) published by Atomic Books Company.
