Description: This issue of Martens's anarchist mamazine discusses her personal struggle with poverty and the welfare system. She talks about the institutionalization of welfare and how being told to get a job is a useless strategy, as well as the ways that welfare is interpreted in racist and sexist ways. She then focuses on the difficulties of raising a child while being poor, as well as the peer influences her daughter has in regards to name brand items, which are often created in sweatshops. There is also an article on a hospital birth and cesarean-section written by a dad.
Notes: A zine for subculture parents, kids, friends & others.
