Cyclista Zine Manifesto
CYCLISTA ZINE WAS CREATED WITH A CALL AND INTENT TO AMPLIFY UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES IN CYCLING AND TO DISRUPT TRADITIONAL OUTDOOR MEDIA AND MAINSTREAM NARRATIVES OF WHO CYCLES. CYCLISTA ZINE IS MEANT TO FUNCTION AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN VIRTUAL SAFE SPACES AND ALTERNATIVES FOR THE CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS TO EXPLORE CYCLING THEIR OWN WAY.
THE PERSONAL IS POLITICAL AND CYCLING HAS A LONG HISTORY AS A MACHINE FOR LIBERATION. WE EXPLORE HISTORIES, MOVEMENTS AND CURRENT EVENTS OF HOW TO BE IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE CHANGE THAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD. WE CANNOT PROMOTE SOMETHING THAT'S COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO THE MOVEMENT WE'RE WORKING TOWARD.
OUR FEMINISM IS INTERSECTIONAL AND INCLUSIVE. WE PROMOTE PLEASURE ACTIVISM IN MOBILITY AND CLIMATE JUSTICE. CYCLISTA ZINE IS A PLACE FOR CONVERSATION, EDUCATION, AND PERSONAL GROWTH-ABOVE ALL/ OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY WHERE BOTH CREATORS AND ALLIES GROW IN SOLIDARITY. WE HOPE TO TAKE ON THE DISMANTLING OF THE PATRIARCHY ONE EDITION AT A TIME!
