In 1974, women imprisoned at New York's maximum-security prison at Bedford Hills staged what is known as the August Rebellion. Protesting the brutal beating of a fellow prisoner, the women fought off guards, holding seven of them hostage, and took over sections of the prison. While many have heard of the 1971 Attica prison uprising, the August Rebellion remains relatively unknown even in activist circles. Resistance Behind Bars is determined to challenge and change such oversights. As it examines daily struggles against appalling prison conditions and injustices, Resistance documents both collective organizing and individual resistance among women incarcerated in the U.S. Emphasizing women's agency in resisting the conditions of their confinement through forming peer education groups, clandestinely arranging ways for children to visit mothers in distant prisons and raising public awareness about their lives, Resistance seeks to spark further discussion and research into the lives of incarcerated women and galvanize much-needed outside support for their struggles.

In the second installment of 29-year-old Vikki and her five-year-old daughter Siu Loong's travel zine of their fourteen day trip through Hong Kong, the pair goes to Aberdeen, a former fishing village where they spend time with family and visit a temple.

This political compzine addresses the inclusion vs. alienation of parents, particularly mothers, within radical and anarchist culture, and at demonstrations like the FTAA protest in Miami. Filled with articles from radical/anarchist mothers, fathers, and non-parents, the zine is mostly text with a few cartoons. Mothers write about their struggles with childcare, criticism from "anti-breeders," feeling left out of activism and actions, and being pushed out of anarchist scenes because children were unwelcome. There is also a "mama survey," which includes responses to questions about support from anarchist/radical communities. Mothers also write about the experiences of living in collective housing and squats with children, support and lack of support from fathers, and how having children can also be a radicalizing experience.
