Madison, Wisconsin:
"In conjunction with local inauguration protests, Madison-based comics scholar Leah Misemer has organized a group of activists to distribute some 1,000 free copies of RESIST! Magazine, a collection of comics and illustrations created by women.
“I believe in the power of word and image to expose and confront people with ideas that might not be visible otherwise,” said Misemer, who hopes to get copies to the Women’s March on Madison on Saturday, as well as to Anthology on State Street, Arts + Literature Laboratory, and bookstores like A Room of One’s Own and Mystery to Me."
