We made a zine! 📝

The Community Postal Zine is a collection of anonymous letters submitted by Schenectady community members.

The zine explores building healthy communities, supporting different types of relationships, and creating joy and connection together.

To read the zine, scan the QR code or visit bit.ly/communitypostalzine. The printed zine is also available in several Schenectady locations including Electric City Barn!
