We would like to thank everybody providing free education and information for the people throughout the world. These resources for radical literature have proven invaluable to us, and have helped contribute to the bulk of our library. We decided to make our own library that includes local independent zines from PDX along with any information we think the average Portland Activist needs to know. We recommend the following resources:

Sprout Distro
Rosehip Medics
