Quote
When it comes to being poly, you hear a lot about sex, but being poly is much more about choosing the right partners and communicating. I have good people in my life; I’m very thankful for my mother and my friends. Being nonhierarchical poly — where no one partner is more important — allows me to communicate and bond with them all equally without judgement and jealousy over me, because I work to give my time and support to them. Not everyone in my life needs to be around me 24/7. It doesn’t mean they love me less, or vice versa.
"How My Poly Relationship Helped Me Make a Difficult Medical Decision," by Jordannah Elizabeth at Cosmopolitan

Shirley Graham Du Bois
by Jared Poe

 Shirley Graham Du Bois was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1896. Graham was fluent in French, and graduated with a master’s degree in fine arts and music history at Oberlin University (McFadden). She was a playwright, composer, novelist, political activist, and was the first black American woman to compose an opera for the well-known organization - Stadium Opera Company, in Cleveland, Ohio (Elizabeth). She married W.E.B. Du Bois in 1951. Once gaining respect as a national playwright, her husband would often seek her opinion in proofreading and critiquing his plays (McFadden).  Graham wrote and produced the opera Tom Tom: An Epic of Music and the Negro, which told a story of the history of African America with an all-black cast (the first opera to feature an all-black cast) scored to the sounds of her music she had composed for the opera (Jackson). Her play attracted thousands, and earned critical acclaim for her composition. Her opera deconstructed an image of “blackness” based on popular culture and reconstructed an image based on an African consciousness and identity. Graham traveled the world, speaking at institutions, promoting anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism. She had lived in Ghana and traveled throughout Africa and the Middle East (Jackson). In 1936, Graham work as a director for the Chicago Negro Unit of the Federal Theatre Project – associated with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration (Elizabeth). In the 40s, Graham worked as a Field Secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) (Jackson). In a speech Graham gave at UCLA in 1970, she states that she “didn’t feel like a stranger anywhere” that she had traveled because the people have all had a shared-experience – united by ancestors and the land. She expressed the importance of understanding and expressing black identity from a historical and cultural perspective – including music and theater. Graham authored seven plays in her lifetime, and dedicated her life to political activism before passing away in 1977, Beijing, China, due to complications from breast cancer (McFadden).

"The Original Punk Parent Zine." Ariel Gore
"Martens has been writing since long before the mommy wars were a media trope, but her work is a powerful response to punditry casting institutional and political problems as personal issues of 'work-life balance' for mothers (notably, not fathers)." - Lisa Jervis, Bitch Magazine
China Martens started The Future Generation, a pioneer of the genre, especially when it comes to mamazines, in 1990. She was a young anarchist punk rock mother who didn't feel that the mamas in her community had enough support, so she began publishing articles on radical parenting in an age before the Internet made such a thing easy.
Atomic Books published The Future Generation: The Zine-Book For Subculture Parents, Friends, & Others in 2007, an anthology of the best from issues of The Future Generation, the zine. For the first time, the 16 years of her zine and parenting writing life came together. This zine-book used individual issues as chapters, focused on personal writing, and retained the character of a zine that changed over the years—growing from her daughter’s birth to teenagehood and beyond.
NOW – with your help – we will publish the tenth year anniversary, second edition!!! Help get The Future Generation back in print again!!!
Pre-order and get a signed second edition copy delivered to your house in October, 2017! With a new color cover and ALL NEW AFTERWORD written by China's daughter. And many other exciting zine perks.
Why you should support (in any way that you can) this campaign:
Because China Martens is an awesome writer and thinker!
To celebrate the past and gather strength for the future!
Because it is a historic 10th year commemorative issue of badass fierceness!
TFG remains a timeless resource for parents, caregivers and those who care about them. Though first published in 1990, many of the essays and observations--about parenting, children, and surviving in a hostile political climate--still ring true today.
To support a local (Baltimore) small press – Atomic Book Company.  
Because Writing is Important to envision a better world! And it’s a terrible job.
Because this zine-book is her life’s work and putting it back in print gives it a chance to share with a wider audience and live on.
Because China's grown 28-year-old daughter is going to write a new updated afterword – and you know you want to read that!!!!!!
It’s the Anti-trump thing to do! Support single mother stories.
This book is a documentation of the visceral, day to day, experience of being a poor, single mother in the 90s. What it was like to be a poor single mother during 'welfare reform' and how it affected the day to day life of poor mothers.
Because it’s the only publication of its kind, a vital alternative, and much needed resource.  
Because this book will inspire a new generation of artists and mothers trying to survive.
Parenting is a political act and we need a network to build a sustainable future – for everyone – not just individuals or individual family members but all people everywhere.
Navigating our world under its current political climate requires alternatives if we are going to survive. This book is necessary now and into the future to provide vision and camaraderie.
The next four years are going to be especially demanding for those trying to balance parenting, politics, and survival. We're going to need the voices and experiences in TFG now more than ever.
Because the future generation is our only hope!

Atomic Books had a figure from the printers we used last time for 8 thousand dollars, and two thousand was needed for shipping and expenses. I tried as hard as I could, but I could not raise that amount of money in the time frame we set the campaign up for. I am doing this a second time with a smaller goal, and flexible platform, that I can achieve. I am working on various new strategies. I need the money from preorders to get this book off the ground because no one wants to print it, at the size it is at, without some money put in for the printing expenses. That is because the book is so large, it is not economical to put it out at the size it is at.  I just want the book to be able to come out, at the size it is with all the graphics and ect. that are true to the spirit of the zine, one more time.
