Community organizers, educators, writers and self-proclaimed nerds Walidah Imarisha and Adrienne Marie Brown are publishingan anthology of radical science and speculative fiction written by organizers and activists entitled
Octavia's Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements.
Stories include a zombie apocalypse set in an internment camp!! There are also a few essays by more "established" writers like Mumia Abu-Jamal (who contributed an essay about
Star Wars and U.S. imperialism!) and sci-fi writer Tananarive Due (with an essay on Octavia Butler).
They're self-publishing it and have an indie go-go campaign to fund the project (and you can find out more about the anthology when you watch the video):
