We Are More Than a Label, is a language matters zine created by Fortune community members in collaboration with designer Laura Cerón Melo. It is an appeal for people to learn more about the use of humanizing - person-first - language and suggests word choices when communicating about people affected by the (in)justice system.

We printed the zines at Lucky Risograph, a local, small, POC-owned risograph printing studio. 750 zines came out fresh from Lucky just in time to make it into We Choose to Bloom, the exhibition we had at MoMA PS1’s Homeroom in the fall of 2021.
To date (summer 2024), more than 2,000 copies of the zine have been printed and distributed for free.

Please download and share this zine widely!
