Eco-Anarchist zine about the desolation of the Gulf Coast published on behalf of a contributor.

The following was read out before the noise demo started:

Texas: Solidarity from Solitary and Beyond

From Texas Observer by Michelle Pitcher.
September/October 2024 issue

Texans are organizing inside and outside of prisons to empower incarcerated workers, who labor in dangerous conditions without pay.

Julio “Alex” Zuniga ends the messages he sends from his prison cell with the signoff “Solidarity forever.” He sometimes includes a postscript with music recommendations, leaning toward vibey alt-pop and indie—a somewhat surprising mix for the self-described anarchist activist.
