UPDATED zine! The NYS senator who endorsed Cuom0 has been removed and Michael Blake has been added in! The zine has everything: mayoral primary dates, a bit about the importance of ranked choice, who to rank and who NOT to rank. Free printable download: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Hand holding zine titled "What's Going on with the NYC Mayoral Race?"

Hand holding open spread of zine with "Rank these 5 candidates" in the upper left, and pics and quotes from Zellnor Myrie, Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander, Michael Blake and Adrienne Adams

Curious about the history of printing, from pre-Gutenberg to the present, and would like a book that offers a thorough but concise rundown? You can get a copy of Six Centuries of Type & Printing in a Kickstarter campaign I launched just now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...
