About Me

Armistice 's mission begins with the fundamental principle that all voices have a right to be heard. We bleive that awareness about the world is necessary to bring abotu change. From the bloodiest bowels of the French Revolution to the tragedy at Tiananmen Square, the youth have always provided an impetus for change. At the dawn of the 21st century, we the youth of today will not abdicate that role. We are creating a zine to bring about a mass movement of political views and to provide a place where subversive ideas can be seen as valid and common.
