The Approach is a newspaper meets literary magazine meets underground organizing pamphlet focusing on how to approach—thwart, upend, sabotage, survive—autocracy. The Approach will only exist in print, and will feature the voices of our best thinkers and culture workers on how to navigate our current states of emergency, and what might emerge instead.
