Seventh Native American Generation (SNAG) is a volunteer-based San Francisco organization. We publish a magazine with art, essays, poetry, photos from young Natives across the Americas. We also put out a music CD featuring Native musicians from across the country. We are currently holding three types of multimedia workshops: Indigenous Media for youth 11-18 where they learn video filming and editing, music production, photography, writing, screen-printing and design; Audio Media for youth 19-25 who learn how to make audio collages with the Freedom Archives Alcatraz project; and Rez Eyez, a collaboration with Robinson Rancheria that teaches youth on the reservation photography. Contact us at SNAGMAGAZINE@YAHOO.COM to be involved.

Since it was founded in 2002 by editors Ross Cunningham and Shadi Rahimi, SNAG staff have published annual magazines, held dozens of workshops and several community events that draw hundreds of people. Its crew is currently collaborating with other Native and immigrant organizations in the U.S. to journey on a cross-continental exchange to Palestine. There, young Indigenous people will learn first hand from each other by sharing tools of empowerment and education. We will also publish their work.

The Real Cost of Prisons Project seeks to broaden and deepen the organizing capacity of prison/justice activists working to end mass incarceration. Organized in 2001, the RCPP brings together justice activists, artists, justice policy researchers and people directly experiencing the impact of mass incarceration to create comic books, a website and daily news blog and other materials and resources which explore the immediate and long-term costs of incarceration on the individual, her/his family, community and the nation.
More than 115,000 copies of RCPP comic books ---"Prisoners of the War on Drugs," "Prison Town---Paying the Price" and "Prisoners of a Hard Life" --have been sent to organizers and activists in prison and in the "free world." In 2008, PM Press published The Real Cost of Prisons Comix, an anthology of the comic books which includes responses from activists around the country who use the comic books in their work.
