B.E.T.C.H. Broadcast

It's that time of year when Hell opens up in Austin and every body gets into the water or outta the town. We've all been running around visiting friends and family (right now Arwyn is in rainy Minneapolis) and when we're not running around we're at Kinko's or Treasure City Thrift (who let's us use their copier) printing,
editing and compiling the zine.   It's been a lot of work and we'd really like to thank everyone who
submitted something to this issue, it means a lot to have you share your thoughts and feelings and lives with us.

Slut Walk was fantastic! Never has fighting rape culture been so stylish. This event, as well as Take Back the Night!- which happened in April- remind us how sad, intense and utterly empowering it is when survivors share their stories of sexual assault. Whether we're at a protest, or at the side of a friend who is dealing with assault this work is important and real. Thanks to the people who put on things like this and to everyone fighting rape culture. If you have pictures from Slut Walk we'd love to put them on our blog!
