Dear Zine Writers, And Women's Empowerment DIY Artists, Musicians, Filmmakers And Creative Media Makes

Hello. Below you will find a new podcast and online radio broadcast of an interview with some new and some current Freeschool, Olympia FunCo-op, and Peace Communities volunteers and interns at a volunteer meeting on April 20th, 2010. We prepared to help with our Artswalk Art exhibit later in the day and discussed preparations for the amazing Second Annual International Radical Media Convergence which includes free sailing, free website building for progressive zinesters and activists, free zine and media workshops, free housing, food and more and will take place in July 2010. To print out the Artswalk map please click here. We are #82 on the map and will exhibit during the 16th Annual Procession of the Species, one of the country's best art festivals, and we will exhibit throughout
the month of April so please check out our member's Artwork! To hear the interview please click here.

The Freeschool Community and The FreeRent Community desires to take zine reviews to the next level.

We review zines and creative women's empowerment art and we have been listed in Zine World review section for the last two years now found here: http://www.undergroundpress.org/zine-resources/other-zine-review-zi...

We just redid our entire website www.FreeRentCommunity.org

Our last zine review and podcast, blog post and twitter post of the zine review was three days ago.

We are always looking for women’s empowerment zines to review and we review women's empowerment zines, music, art, short Do-It-Yourself DVD videos and most short creative and short artistic material and items which are directly, indirectly or barely related to love and/or feminism and/or especially about women creating a better world and (although it is not required) especially with direct action and/or Civil Disobedience.

We will promote your material by our blog, podcast, online radio (over five years strong), DIY Film Series (over two years strong), and much much more. We also promote zine reviews on our Twitter account @lovepeaceandjoy with over 3,000 followers. If you follow our twitter account we will follow you back. Our twitter account currently is #199 on the ‘Most Followed’ list out of over 3,900 twitter accounts listed in the ‘women’ category of the We follow International Twitter Directory and we are currently #145 on the ‘Most Influential’ list in the directory’s women category. We also have over 20 twitter list following our twitter posts.

Let us use our influence to help promote your women's empowerment zines and creative work for a better world!

When desiring to have your zine or creative materials reviews please include the form found on our website at www.FreeRentCommunity.org

Thanks everyone,
keep working for a better world,
Love for all,

"Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness -- and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we're being brainwashed to believe." -Arundhati Roy

"Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences."
-Susan B. Anthony
