Youth Activism Zine Published

The YAG Collective Zine is a collectively made zine created by 15 participants in the Maine Youth Activism Gathering. Since 2000 Maine youth have been converging annually for a three day celebration of political action, fierce youth brilliance and do-it-yourself fun. The Youth Activism Gathering (YAG) is an event organized for and by teens and young adults with support and suggestions from a few choice older activists.

BMC's INK Youth Zine Project provided support for publishing this year's YAG zine. The cover is a collage of images made by participants, and the inside pages are total youth brilliance!

For more information on the Maine Youth Activism Gathering, there is a Maine YAG website.

The YAG zine was printed locally at Northeast Reprographics in Bangor.

  2. For sure. There are many young people throughout the state who are committed to making a difference, both in the government and throughout society. We want to support them in any way we can.
