To Our Beloved Zine Community,

The past few weeks have been a challenging time for everyone; adapting to quickly evolving precautionary measures, assisting friends, family and community with resources, and prioritizing taking care of our individual well-being for the sake of us all.

Amidst this time, those of us organizing L.A. Zine Fest 2020 have been discussing how we can respond to this crisis, while maintaining best practices to support the participants and attendees who value the connections made at our annual event.

Because of the current recommendations put out by the CDC for large community events, and the orders in place by the city of Los Angeles, we’ve made the difficult decision that L.A. Zine Fest 2020 is cancelled and will not be taking place on Sunday May 31st at Helms Bakery.

We are currently planning opportunities for LAZF 2020 participants to connect with each other and with those who would be attending. If you haven’t already, please sign up for our mailing list to find out how you can support the exhibitors who were planning on participating in the 2020 event.

In Solidarity From a Distance,

Your LAZF 2020 Organizers

Bianca, Daisy, Michelle, Rhea & Roxy
