Torches: The Fires That Fuel Change

Torches: The Fires That Fuel Change is a digital collection of comics, poetry, prose, and illustrations responding to the prompt: What torches do you bear? What lights your fire and keeps you burning through the night?

If you enjoy stories about strength, community and rallying together to create radical hope, then Torches is for you. So strike a match and dive into our zine where 15 Incredible artists collaborate to create a bright, sharp vision of hope in a world that often seems dark.

In the spirit of fueling change, these stories will add fuel to the engine of progress. All proceeds from the zine will be donated to the ACLU Foundation, a 501(c)(3) civil liberties nonprofit.

Thank you to our artists for your contribution to this zine and cause.
