A journalist arranged an LA Times piece on the precursor to Dead Relatives, Protest Aid, during operations in 2020.
Managing over 50 volunteers across Los Angeles & Orange counties through a website, my teams & I provided medical support & supply stations at over 40 BLM & ICE protests over the summer George Floyd passed.

Dead Relatives began as a web mag for artistic conversations in 2021. After our first year of publication, we started hosting semi-public parties & galleries involving Orange Amps, 22 West, UCLA Radio, & Audio-Technica. During this time, we built the infrastructure intended to carry our original concept for the mag – our turn to print is live now.
All prints/issues support respective causes as noted. We are a non-profit organization, meaning any income the mag receives will only be used to maintain & expand Dead Relatives. Our content will always be free to read. This magazine was designed to preserve a space for creatives to educate, tell stories, & fundraise for change. We rely on donations to access & republish archived photos, videos, academic writings, & art.

Every good sword is double-edged. Sometimes we wear London Fog. If you have something to say, say it. Here's your new order story: It's not you, it's November. Wine is forever. Las mañanas can only be better.
