Zoe Peters

My name is Zoe Mae Peters. I am a 16 year old unschooler in Jamaica Plain. I dropped out of a Boston public exam school last year after three months in it.

My family has had a connection with Michael and Lydia ever since I can remember. I have a connection to Z that I deeply treasure and always will. This summer my mother taught some classes at ZMI, I joined her for a couple of days and met many cool folks. Introduce yourself. Tell me who you are and why. I\'d love to hear what you have to say.

As for me: I write, I take pictures, talk to people, learn, love, explore.

CRITICAL ACTION

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Z’s work.

If this project resonates with you, you can learn more about it and find ways to support the work using the link below.

Independent media is not disappearing because the ideas are weak.

It is disappearing because platforms reward speed, outrage, and algorithmic visibility over thoughtful analysis.

More than 100,000 people read Z every month, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. It takes fewer than 1 in 100 of them to fund all of it: 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone, and build what comes next.
