FUF is excited to welcome so many awesome tablers this year!
Tabling Sat 25th & Sun 26th
Brown and Proud Press is a writing collective of people of color based out of Chicago, IL. We believe in the necessity of self-preservation and creating visibility around our struggles and histories through the medium of zines. Our main project, the "On Struggling" zine series, brings together personal narratives on topics such as identity, assimilation, racism, mental health, modes of self-care and more from people of color across the country. Pick up some zines, and see how you can get involved in the collective or the next issue! facebook.com/brownandproudpress
Street Youth Rise Up Task Force & Campaign provides peer-to-peer outreach to homeless, home free and street-based youth in Chicago, many of whom are queer, trans & youth of color. They are also currently collecting data and doing research through the Bad Encounter Line, an online site (geared towards Chicago youth) to anonymously report bad experiences with institutions that are supposedly there to help, such as police, the health care system, public aid, CPS and more. Proceeds from fest tickets and merch will go towards supporting their critical work! ywepchicago.wordpress.com/our-work/our-campaign/
Sabah I’m a henna artist and make crystal stone jewelry. I also have some material zines, newspapers, stickers, etc from some movements in Mexico to show solidarity as well as some radical art.
The Feral Space/Warzone Distro is run by a small group of intersectional, queer, vegan anarchist straight edge punks from Elgin. Their main purpose is directly supporting community projects like “Food Not Bombs” and sobriety support programs, while developing community resistance to state terror. They’ll be tabling their FREE ZINES on topics including but not limited to radical veganism, anti-colonization/de-colonization, ecofeminism, gender anarchy, radical sobriety/straight edge, anti-capitalism and so on. theferalspacecollectivexvx.blogspot.com
Chloe Perkis I am a queer dork / Chicago printmaker / cartoonist / comic artist. I make funny and gross lithographs, screenprints, patches, and comix. I have a shit ton of prints to table, along with a comic that I just finished called OUCH. I am working on a few split comic collaborations with my fellow queer punk artists that should hopefully be ready in time for the fest. chloeperkis.tumblr.com
Boxcar Books & Community Center is a volunteer powered, non-profit organization that exists to provide radical and alternative books, comics, and zines on topics such as anarchism, punk, prison, queer, disability studies, etc. After we pay our bills and restock our collection, our proceeds go to the Midwest Pages for Prisoners Project (MPPP), which is housed inside our bookstore. MPPP is a volunteer-run project that sends reading materials to people incarcerated across the country. Bloomington, Indiana. www.boxcarbooks.org/
Black and Pink: Chicago is an open family of GLBTQ prisoners and "free world" allies who support each other. Our work toward the abolition of the prison industrial complex is rooted in the experience of currently and formerly incarcerated people. We are outraged by the specific violence of the prison industrial complex against GLBTQ people, and respond through advocacy, education, direct service, and organizing. www.blackandpink.org/

We Charge Genocide is a grassroots, inter-generational effort to center the voices and experiences of the young people most targeted by police violence in Chicago. We hope to equip individuals with information, resources, and tools to hold the Chicago Police Department accountable, to reform the CPD, and in some cases to seek viable alternatives to policing.

Slut Walk Chicago aspires to educate the public about rape culture, to support each other through fun events, and to challenge mindsets and stereotypes of victim-blaming and slut-shaming. We seek to create a safer space in which victims can share their stories, empower themselves and one another, and in which sincere allies can join victims to change the world we live in. We stand for victim's rights, enthusiastic consent, body and sex positivity, and a world without sexual violence or its threat. We seek to demonstrate that real change is expected, and that anything less than real, meaningful change on both political and social levels is unacceptable. www.facebook.com/slutwalkchicago
Tayler Williams is the creator of a coloring and activity book for the privileged majority. The activity book pokes fun at, while seriously calling out people of privilege. Some examples of the pages within the book include an Iggy Azalea paper doll with cultural appropriation accessories, an ugly plus-size fashion word search, an "avoid the micro-aggressions" maze, and an Exceptional white person certificate for having 1 black friend. It serves the underprivileged and oppressed through relatable humor teamed with a sarcastic and satirical punk aesthetic. taylerwilliamsartistry.weebly.com/
Project Fierce Chicago is a grassroots collective of radical social workers, housing advocates and young people who are working together to establish identity-affirming transitional housing in Chicago. Our mission is to reduce LGBTQ youth homelessness in Chicago by providing affirming, no-cost transitional housing and support services to LGBTQ young adults. We also aim to encourage community-building and youth development through collective living & civic engagement. projectfiercechicago.org/
Willow Naeco I make buttons, bottle openers, magnets, and mirrors. I also make zines for Chicago Critical Mass, Bike Winter, and personal zines (talking about rape and other abuse). I will bring a couple of my machines so people can create their own art and have it turned into a button, magnet, etc. on the spot. www.facebook.com/wnButtons
SWOP-Chicago’s mission is to support the rights of sex workers and their communities and to focus on ending violence and stigma through education, advocacy, and peer support.

We also have cute merch. www.swop-chicago.org/
Organized Communities Against Deportations (OCAD) seeks to stop deportations in our communities through mobilization, advocacy and education. Since December 2012, OCAD has led public campaigns to stop deportations in the state of Illinois and has helped families to fight deportations of loved ones by connecting them to the proper legal venues and information that can make the difference between staying in this country or getting deported. We will be tabling to get the word out regarding the work we do, up coming meetings, and workshops. www.facebook.com/OCADIL
