Hello,
I was just wondering if there are any more issues, events or organizations in the works of being posted. I came across a student at CSUN promoting and I only now, after the issue and last event have passed, came to check out the website.
How can I become involved?
Thanks!

Hi Jaclyn,
We’re always looking for volunteers who support the idea and cause and are willing to dedicate a little time to grow the project! Right now, we’re focusing our efforts and gathering content for our issues. We’re also looking to put on more TAYO writing and drawing workshops in the Southern California area. In what capacity do you think you’d like to get involved?
