HOW TO USE THIS ZINE
Youth can use this zine as a way to…
→ Talk with our constituency (or, your people) about the problems that matter most to them. Elections are a great opportunity for us to to listen and test our issue framing
→ Shift the conditions of our popular struggle. Find windows of opportunity to shift current conditions so that we have the space to build the future we want.
→ Set a political agenda + identify strategic targets. Get people talking about your issue-demands and force stakeholders to confront your priorities. Elected officials are forced to respond to it in some capacity. Sometimes this means they adopt our solutions OR their response/lack thereof illuminates their own illegitimacy in a way that is favorable for us
