Introducing The Approach

Co-presented with City Lights Booksellers & Publishers

As emergency laps at our toes, along with the knowledge that things are likely to get worse before they get better, the time is right for the launch of a guerrilla newspaper called The Approach. The Approach is a newspaper meets literary magazine meets underground organizing pamphlet focusing on how to approach––thwart, upend, sabotage, survive––autocracy. Due to the urgency of getting offline and gathering in both effort and body, The Approach only exists in print and features the voices of our best thinkers and culture workers on how to navigate our current state of emergency, and what might emerge instead. Contributors to the first issue include Ingrid Rojas Contreras, Alexis Madrigal, Lauren Markham, Rebecca Solnit, Omar El Akkad, and R.O. Kwon. This event, held in collaboration with partner City Lights, will celebrate the launch of this paper and the urgency of writing that helps us navigate autocracy and political emergency.
