libelluszine

A home for Libellus: A Classics Tumblr Zine in Aid of Operation Olive Branch. Get your Ancient Greek and Roman fix from 10 contributors, all for a great cause! In this little book (or libellus, in Latin), you'll find short fiction, art, translations, and other reflections on what we love the most about the Classical worlds. Each download includes a digital copy of the 32-page zine! 

Update (January 2025): As of January 17, we will now be donating proceeds to a joint direct aid initiative by Translating Falasteen and the Sameer Project. These are both Palestinian-led organizations that are collaborating to provide Gazans with food, water, medical aid, and other supplies like diapers and milk. You can read more about the initiative here: https://chuffed.org/project/help-us-deliver-vital-aid-to-gaza-families-in-need.

We were able to donate our second round of proceeds to this initiative, $89.25 USD in total! Any future purchases or donations you might make will continue to be donated to this campaign, and we already know we will have enough for a third round! 

Our first round of donations ($205.75 USD in total) benefited Operation Olive Branch, a grassroots organization that collates and amplifies fundraisers for Gazans in need. OOB also collaborates with Palestinian community partners in direct aid initiatives, such as the construction of a humanitarian encampment in Gaza to provide food, shelter, water, medical treatment, electricity, wifi, and other necessities to 300 individuals. Funds from this zine were donated specifically to support the encampment initiative, which you can read more about here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/operationolivebranch.
