Recently the Vancouver Rape Relief & Women's Shelter had it’s city funding cut due to claims of transphobia. That means that they will lose out on $34,312 that the city had originally approved. Vancouver Rape Relief & Women's Shelter is Canada's oldest rape crisis center, located in Vancouver, British Columbia. The shelter was established in 1973 and has operated a feminist transition house since 1983, offering women shelter from men who are abusing them, including fathers, husbands, sons, pimps, johns and landlords.

This is one of the few female spaces left for women in need. Please consider helping:

Deep Green Resistance is primarily an environmentalist and anticapitalist organization but they have a women's caucus and their feminist solidarity guidelines are explicitly radical feminist. They aren't exclusively PNW but have local chapters throughout the PNW!

Stoner Babes Coloring Book

About

“Katie Guinn has given women an image of themselves, without apology… Stoner Babes is phenomenal. Enter with abandon.” —Lidia Yuknavitch

We are proud to present the dreamy, luminous, cannabis-inspired, feminist new adult coloring book: Katie Guinn’s The Stoner Babes Coloring Book. In its pages, over 60 gorgeous humans are ornately depicted in Guinn’s beautiful, revealing style.  

Each page depicts a beautiful woman or gender nonconforming babe savoring the effects of the cannabis plant.

The art is single-sided and perforated. On the back of each portrait, you can read about what empowerment means to each of them.

The word “stoner” gets a bad rap. But these portraits of accomplished weed lovers show that marijuana can instead be a creative muse, a quiet focus, powerful medicine, and a means of self-empowerment.

In the words of Genesy, the cover babe, “Empowerment means being celebrated and supported on your journey to becoming your highest self.”

Our campaign theme song is “High Road” by We Ain’t They (also featured in the video)!

About the Artist

Katie Guinn is a Portland-born artist, designer, writer, and mother who spent her adolescence in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. Katie’s inspired by her home in the Pacific Northwest, literature, music, art history, and the beautiful radiance of the empowered female being. Katie is a flower gardener, caretaker of fairies, moss, and rocks collector. She sometimes likes to partake in the transcendental qualities of cannabis when she makes art and appreciates its healing qualities. The Stoner Babes is Katie’s first publication. She is the head of neighborhood watch on her block in Portland, OR, where she lives with her husband and daughter.

About the Publisher

Microcosm Publishing is a diversified, independent publishing house and distributor in Portland, Oregon. Since 1996, our books and zines emphasize self-empowerment and skill-building, by showing hidden histories, fostering creativity, and equipping readers to make positive changes in their lives and in the world around them. In a world that is swinging to the right, we are carving out a place at the center with nonfiction offerings about DIY skills, punk music, bicycling, food, gender, self-care, and social justice.

About the Rewards

The book itself! The Stoner Babes Coloring Book has 128 single-sided, perforated pages full of colorable transcendence. It officially comes out in Fall, 2018, but we’re printing it early in time for 4/20.

Feminist Weed Farmer is Madrone Stewart’s guide to the zen of cultivating your own medicine. We’re publishing it at the same time as Stoner Babes and couldn’t be prouder of this duo of feminist cannabis books.

Risks and challenges

It’s within the realm of possibility that our patriarchal federal government will make cannabis *and* empowered femininity entirely illegal. In which case, books like these will be even more meaningful and poignant.

Thank you! Never stop believing.
