We are hosting a virtual launch party for the digital release of Libertroph Magazines's inaugural issue!
At the event, contributors will share excerpts from their pieces. Co-founders will share more about how they envision Libertroph can serve as an anti-racist organizing tool. We will also ground ourselves in our bodies and joyful anti-racist community.
"As Joe Barnes once said, ‘If white people see anti-racist work as sacrificial, we're not going to do it.’ It's got to be something that feeds our souls. It's got to be something that we enjoy. It's got to be something that builds our humanity and our relationships with a very wide group of people." - Margery Freeman, white anti-racist elder and Libertroph Magazine contributor
Donate
If you’d like to support the mission of Libertroph Magazine, we would be so grateful.
All donations will first go toward the costs of designing, printing, and shipping print magazines, which we expect will be about $6,500 for our first year. Beyond that, at least 85% of additional proceeds will be donated to Black-, Indigenous-, and Palestinian-led organizations, while the remaining 15% will be set aside to cover other anticipated costs related to producing and distributing the magazine.
Financial Transparency
Libertroph is intended to serve as an archive and index of possibility. In the spirit of making this content accessible as a resource and organizing tool, all of Libertroph’s content will always be available for free online. Libertroph Magazine’s print edition (anticipated Fall 2025!) will also be distributed for free, with buyers asked to cover only the costs of shipping.
So far, all of Libertroph’s expenses have been covered by the co-founders, who are not profiting off of this project.
In order to cover the costs of designing, printing, and shipping the print Magazine, we are inviting values-aligned organizations to purchase custom ads that will be featured in the print edition.
-
You can purchase a full page ad for our print magazine to reach thousands of potential new members, clients, or customers!
Each ad will be custom designed by a Black woman-owned media agency. We suggest a contribution of $800 per ad, which will go towards costs associated with magazine design, printing, and shipping. Any additional profits will be donated to Black- and Indigenous-led organizations.
Reach out to us at libertrophmagazine@gmail.com to inquire about a custom ad.

Libertroph Magazine will launch in its digital format by July 2025, with the print version to follow by October 2025. We are building a team of volunteers who will distribute the print magazine via organizations, local bookstores, & zine fests. We also hope to expand Libertroph’s reach by partnering with organizations and communities that are committed to nurturing anti-racist culture in the spirit of collective liberation.
If that’s you or your organization, please reach out to us at libertrophmagazine@gmail.com. You can also check out our Partnerships Deck here for more information.

You can order the magazine in bulk to distribute as an educational tool for your team or customers. You will only be asked to pay for the costs of printing and shipping. If you purchase an ad, these costs will be waived.
Please email libertrophmagazine@gmail.com to explore these and other partnership opportunities.
