Help us produce Escape Route Zine #2 via Kickstarter. Escape Route is a DIY cut and paste community driven zine featuring all female skateboarders. The idea of the zine is to inspire people to skate, properly represent females in the skate community and show that we’re everywhere. It also seeks to empower young girls & women to grow into strong, confident leaders who promote and implement social equity via skateboarding.

The money pledged to the zine via Kickstarter will go toward paying for the printing services and postage for distributing the zines worldwide. All leftover money (if any) will go toward future issues of the zine. Since this is a volunteer run zine, we are using Kickstarter to pay for the zine and make the zine more accessible to people regardless of their financial situation by not having to charge $ for Escape Route. This project will only be funded if the pledge amount is reached by the May 21, 2011 deadline.

If you’d like to be a part of the #2 issue of Escape Route please send in your submissions to skatelikeagirlsf@gmail.com by May 21, 2011. We’d like to have the zine ready to print by May 31, 2011 and ready to distribute by June 2011.
