In the aftermath of President Trump being elected to office, this free zine initiative was established as a way to speak out about female reproductive rights. With an objective to help women maintain control of their own bodies, reprorightszine has an uncompromising message: "Your body, your choice and keeping it that way." The zine includes women's reproductive rights in the US, how to exercise them and how they could change.
The free zine can be downloaded online and printed on a single piece of paper, which when folded, turns into an 8 page publication. Created by Layla Alter, Emma Holland and India Menuez, reprorightszine is also distributed in New York City by Printed Matter and Picture Room and in LA by Ooga Booga. They hope education leads to empowerment.
