Sixty is collaborating with local artists and organizers to expand our Regional Resource Lists to communities across the Midwest.

Image: Against a vibrant orange backdrop are drawn images of a crowd of people with a street vendor standing near them holding a flyer with the word "Rights" written on it. Standing slightly closer to the front of the frame is a small dog and two protestors–one holding a megaphone and another holding a sign that says "Ice Melts." Illustration by Sheila Nayeli Clemente-Zoto.

Created alongside and inspired by resources circulated between artists, organizers, and other trusted friends of Sixty over the past several years, Sixty’s Regional Resource Lists are intended for community self-defense, basic needs, solidarity, creative caretaking, and organizing across the Midwest. In collaboration with local artists and organizers, we have expanded our lists to cover Indianapolis, Detroit, Chicago, the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul), and Southwest Michigan— with more to come. Explore the lists below:
