Calling all LGBTQIA teens in the New York (and outlying) area! We want YOU to contribute to MAKE IT STOP, a zine about bullying. We’re open to anything — do you want to do an advice column? Draw a comic? Write a letter to a homophobe? Tell your teachers, parents, friends, what they could do to help? If you want to contribute but aren’t sure what you want to do, that’s ok — email us at makeitstopzine@gmail.com and you can join our brainstorming list, and we can show you some ideas that are waiting for the right person. Artists, writers, all are welcome — let’s make something that matters. Get in touch soon! makeitstopzine@gmail.com
