Broadsides for Santa Cruz Fire Recovery

three broadsides with text and image

In collaboration with Bookshop Santa Cruz, these broadsides featuring poems by Santa Cruz poets have been created to raise funds for community recovery from the August 2020 wildfires in the Santa Cruz Mountains. They were the first pieces printed in the new home of Moving Parts Press in Mendocino, CA.

The broadsides are available for sale at Bookshop Santa Cruz. All proceeds will be donated to the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County and Valley Churches United.
