Our zine cover portrays two sides of the same road with both sides exploring aspects of accessibility in the pandemic. On one side of the road, we show a library with signs promoting book-drop offs, a church offering free meals and supplies, and a restaurant setting up outdoor dining. On the other side of the road, we have a public park with hand sanitizer dispensers and tables with wipes and laptops for free use. On the road itself, we show five individuals of different ability, gender, and racial identities.
