Issue #5: How to make a local Design Justice node

The “How to make local Design Justice node” zine provides organizing tips and resources to help current or aspiring DJN members create and grow local Design Justice Network nodes. It is the fifth in a series of five zines intended to share the principles of design justice, and to support efforts to put these principles into practice across a broad range of contexts, locations, and communities. This zine was written and edited by Victoria Barnett, Laura Carter, Sasha Costanza-Chock, Ryan Hayes, Garance Malivel, Rebecca Michelson, Wesley Taylor, and Maya Wagoner, reviewed by Una Lee, Andrea Ngan, Denise and Shanté Brown, designed & illustrated by Marcia Díaz (illustrations), Camilo Calderón (layout, design) https://bom.works, and important feedback, insight and review by the Toronto Design Justice Node!

DJN uses design to imagine and build the worlds we need to live in — worlds that are safer, more just, and more sustainable. DJN advance practices that center those who are normally excluded from and adversely impacted by design decisions in design processes. DJN does this by following processes and creating work that is rooted in shared principles of design justice, growing our network of design practitioners and advocates, convening to maintain and deepen our connections, creating critical publications, and curating exhibitions. DJN is an Allied Media Projects Sponsored Project.
