Odd Tales Resist is a branch of Odd Tales of Wonder formed to specialize in combating bigotry, oppression, fascism, and corruption. While we have an American focus (due to where most of our members come from), our goal is to operate on a global level, using art, poetry, fiction, and essays to improve the world. We take an inclusive, intersectional, progressive stance against the sort of danger presented by Donald Trump and the white supremacist movement.

Odd Tales Resist is an art and literature community. We will produce content in line with our political principles and distribute it to the public by a variety of means. In contrast to the Odd Tales magazine, Odd Tales Resist is not a magazine as such but we are planning several anthology collections, which may have public submission calls. Odd Tales Resist is presently closed to outside submissions.

Stop Trying to Make "Gun Safety" Happen, It's Not Going to Happen by Jillian Kurashima - Gun control must come about and accurate language is necessary--it's gun control, and refusing to call it such gives power to those who use their gun rights to oppress others. Outrage from recent incidents.
