Portland Zine, CROSSHAIRS, Seeks Submissions from Queer and Trans People of Color

Portland-based CROSSHAIRS zine is looking to place a spotlight on the intersection of identities that are often silenced in the community.

CROSSHAIRS is asking queer and trans* people of color to contribute their work as a means of healing and resource building. By promoting visibility of the stories, thoughts, and emotions of queer trans* people of color, they hope to challenge the power dynamics of white supremecist society. The zine aspires to serve as a community resource and validate the lived traumas experienced by members of the community.

DEADLINE: June 10th, 2012
