The Future Echoes: A Zine Anthology is an archival project designed to document young people’s thoughts and attitudes about current US political, social, economic, ecological, and cultural issues through a medium popular in art activism – zines.
The views and opinions expressed in the submitted zine pages that follow for The Future Echoes: A Zine Anthology are those of the individual contributors and do not reflect the official stance or views of the ACLU of North Carolina. These zines will serve as a platform for young artists and activists to express their perspectives and lived experiences.
Tell your truth in your own way to not lose hope. We have no choice but to keep telling our truths to learn, grow, and protect our lives, bodies, and futures.
Through this page, I hope to highlight queer love, lesbian power, and the importance of living your truth.

I wrote this piece mainly in response to the Nashville shooting in April 2023, but it turned into a commentary on Florida's political climate at the time.
My submission is a collection of phrases written to me, said to me, things I have said or have heard others say.
