Instead of the powerful, rich, white folks focused on in school textbooks, these gorgeous portraits with accompanying biographies recognize the work of grassroots organizers, revolutionaries, visionaries, anarchists, workers, and artists.
Eleanor Whitney empowers you to clarify your vision, get organized, set goals, create a plan, raise funds, market, and manage your do-it-yourself project.
Microcosm has a huge number of sidelines - buttons, enamel pins, stickers, patches and more! They are not all on Edelweiss (especially the new ones like the pin pictured here) but the link below is to their edelwess sidelines or visit their website to see everything (only the items published/authored by Microcosm are available through Como)
Sometimes you just need a little help - and that's where zines come in. Usually just low priced "booklets" that give you a dose of what you need - real talk, how-to, or just some tips to not give a f*ck. The link below gives you the Microcosm website where all of their zines are listed, some are available in edelweiss as well towards the bottom of the fall catalog.
These have been doing really great in a few of my stores, enjoy! - Maureen
