Chicago ABC 2025 Zine Library

In an era of prison mail censorship, the criminalization of zines, and the repression of dissent as ‘terrorism’, we’re doubling down on our inside-outside distro operation. While we prioritize making these zines available to people behind bars and helping people inside self-publish their works, we’re posting this updated 2025 archive to support new zine distros and prisoner support crews and to prevent the suppression and disappearance of important revolutionary voices in this moment.

We have also updated the catalog to include The Anarchist Library through January 2025 and added a dozen zines from the South Chicago ABC collection. Also available are titles from the Anarchist Black Cross Federation, the True Leap Press catalog, and legacy publications such as 4strugglemag and Spirit of Freedom. If there are any titles that should be added or removed from this catalog, please let us know. If you know or are an incarcerated artist or author and would like us to help distribute your works, please hit us up : chicagoabc at subvertising dot org

A mirror of the archive is available as a Tor Hidden Service also accessible through Tor2Web.
