What people are saying about Double Issue:
“This is such a great new magazine. It reminds me a lot of when Might started back in the 90s. A bunch of idealistic young people with day jobs decide to put a magazine together that’s bursting with hope and outrage and a blinding sort of optimism.”
Dave Eggers

Moving forward movements
|
Double Issue is a new independent nonprofit print magazine based in San Francisco. Each issue of the 100-page magazine covers an important social issue – like equality, food, immigration, and conservation.
|
Unlike articles you read in other news outlets, the stories in Double Issue pair a cause's past and present. That's because the way we fight for issues that matter is the same today as the way it was 100 years ago.

the power of print
|
We believe in the power of print. There's a proud tradition of printing presses, social zines, and hand-painted signs making a mark on society.
We are mindful of our environment, so we're printing the magazine on recycled paper that you'll want to keep on your bookshelf. |
We want to carry forward the legacy of print with a community of passionate writers, artists, and activists whose work has appeared in Lucky Peach, Refinery29, Afar, Saveur, San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Magazine, Bust, Out, and on the walls of SFMOMA. We're in love with the work they've sent us and can't wait to publish it.
