A series of self-published fanzines is available online from the PMS collective. These fanzines share the collective’s activist experiences in the field, reading lists, drawings, articles, and interviews. In this issue, “Action Dries Your Tears,” PMS reports on its ongoing research, documents the establishment of solidarity clinics in Greece, its attempts to create an autonomous healthcare network in New York, the study of healing ceremonies emerging at sites of resistance such as Standing Rock, and offers literary and visual resources related to its work.
Here is the definition that the collective proposes: “Power makes us Sick (PMS) is a feminist collective focusing on autonomous health care practices and networks. PMS seeks to understand the ways that our mental, physical, and social health is impacted by imbalances in and abuses of power. We can see that mobility, forced or otherwise, is an increasingly common aspect of life in the Anthropocene. PMS is motivated to develop free tools of solidarity, resistance, and sabotage that respond to these conditions and are informed by a deep concern for planetary well-being.”
