Almost any issue, idea or fact can be expressed with grassroots comics. It is a flexible, attention-grabbing and inexpensive medium and a powerful tool in communication.
If you have something to say, say it with comics!
Grassroots comics - a low-tech communication medium
Grassroots comics are made by socially active people themselves, rather than by campaign and art professionals. They are genuine voices which encourage local debate. They are inexpensive and the technology is not complicated – pens, papers and access to a copying machine are usually enough.
