What are the values of Small Press Day? Small Press Day is built on and driven by anti-oppressive values. What this means in practice is that we actively oppose all forms of oppression including racism, ableism, classism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and any and all discrimination attacking religious beliefs, sexuality, and gender experiences. We created Small Press Day in a commitment to platform the diverse voices working in small press and we expect all participants to help us meet this commitment. By taking part in Small Press Day, you join a beautiful and growing community that holds our values and commitment as collective values and commitment. This is what Small Press Day stands for. Love not hate. Therefore, we reserve the right not to promote any content/publications that may be considered inappropriate or harmful to our community. This includes any events that promote the work of artists/writers who are known to hold active views that contest what Small Press Day stands for, and/or artists/writers who use generative Ai to create their work (in recognition the harm this practice does to the artistry of our community and to our planet). Small Press Day is a trademarked event.
