Radix Media is a worker-owned print shop and publisher. Proudly union. The story of Radix Media began as a tale of two print shops, but would ultimately become much more than that.
A small, worker-owned print shop named OccuCopy was founded in the fall of 2011, one of several worker cooperatives born out of the blossoming Occupy Wall Street movement. They set up shop in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn and became a crucial resource for both the radical and surrounding communities of New York City. But before that, our story began in the Pacific Northwest in the fall of 2010. Radix Medi

New week, new press!! 😍
Seamless duplexing for Helen Levi Ceramics!
One side of this postcard was printed on our digital press, while the other was letterpress printed from a photopolymer plate. The two sides were then glued together to make one seamless, extra thick postcard. 👍
Having a non-hierarchical workplace means every worker does less glamorous work like moving large cases of paper or cleaning the bathroom in addition to work that is often classified as managerial. 💪🏾
We have some thrilling collaborations and culminations in the works, and we cannot wait to have you along for the ride! 😎
◾️ First up, the remaining issues in Ganzeer's dystopian sci-fi graphic novel, THE SOLAR GRID, will be released monthly from June to October 2022, on the last Wednesday of every month. Subscribers will receive the issues as they’re published.
◾️ The debut short story collection by Zein El-Amine, and winner of the 2021 Megaphone Prize, IS THIS HOW YOU EAT A WATERMELON?, is set to be released Novemer 8, 2022.
Set in war-torn Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the United States, the seven stories in the collection are joyful, devastating, and utterly original, daring the reader to look away.
◾️And last, but certainly not least: we’re beyond elated to announce our collaboration with Cadwell Turnbull and Josh Eure as editors.
MANY WORLDS is the culmination of fourteen writers producing stories taking place in a shared multiverse. The stories in this collection are revelatory and offer a breathtaking portal into worlds far more mysterious than our own. MANY WORLDS will be out May 09, 2023.

Some of you may have noticed a small change on our site: free shipping is now only available for orders over $50.
We started to offer free shipping at the beginning of the pandemic to make ordering from us more manageable, but it’s becoming more difficult as the pandemic continues.
If you’re local and want to save a couple bucks, we offer a pickup option. Thank you for understanding!

Rolling into the week like...
We had such a great year! In 2018 we launched our publishing program with Aftermath: Explorations of Loss & Grief and Be the Change! A Justseeds Coloring book. We also connected and worked with amazing authors, visual artists, cooperatives, and organizations. Thank you for all of your support! We look forward to working with you all in the coming years, and can’t wait to share our forthcoming projects.
Ligang Luo is a visual artist currently living in Beijing, and his comic "New Born" appears in our anthology Aftermath: Explorations of Loss & Grief. This video gives us a peek at his creative process.
We really enjoyed having Susanne Wawra take over our Instagram account. Here is a compilation of her stories in case you missed it. And if you're in Ireland, make sure to stop by her opening this Friday at Luan Gallery!
Today is the day! It’s AFTERMATH: Exploration of Loss & Grief’s official publication date. Join us and some of the contributors tonight at Greenlight Bookstore at 7:30. In the meantime, enjoy this short video of the book being printed.
Head to CLMP's Instagram account to see more behind the scene videos like this one. This broadside will be available with a purchase of AFTERMATH on Thursday at Greenlight Bookstore.
