Launching of 13 editora

13 editora is a non-profit publishing project of an independent nature that arises under ECOAR)))'s framework, a social, economic, political and cultural apprenticenship and information tool that aims to produce content and tools that disseminate critical and alternative thinking through pluralist approaches and discourses. Thus, 13 Editora aims to promote the construction of a proactive and analytical social fabric that contributes to make people freer through the destruction of prejudices and the questioning of the "prevailing" lines of thought, as well as the dissemination and construction of new strategies, perspectives and realities that allow us to create a fairer world.

Although currently there are several publishing projects focused on the publication of texts aimed at social transformation, 13 editora is born from the specific need to disseminate, in Galician language, reflective works and practical contents  intended for apprenticenship purposes. These works must present views and voices different to the mainstream ones, have a positive impact on the activation of people and societies, and endow them with diverse tools to interpret and diagnose reality and themselves from a plural and critical perspective in favor of a fair social system.

13 editora's main strength lies in the differentiating aspects of its editorial production. In addition to the translation of texts into the Galician language for the first time, some other aspects stand out, such as the selection of works, editions that are contextualized and adapted to current events, internal production of the graphic content, the quality of the edition or the accessibility of the contents through different supports and the possibility of free or paid access.

The crowdfunding contemplates the edition of 13 editora's first two works, including:

• Achievement of translation as well as publication rights (all issues arising from the editorial conditions).
• Production of the book (printing and binding).
• Distribution of the book (both in timely dispatch and fixed points of sale).

The works edited by 13 Editora are aimed at both audiences that already have some experience in the field of activism, and those who, although not yet activated, want to be part of the change. Thus, 13 Editora's goals are as follows:

• Disseminating critical and alternative thinking through looks and discourses of a plural nature. 
• Recovering discontinued, minority, exhausted or little-diffused materials that belong to the lines of thought defined by the publisher. 
• Giving voice to people, groups or communities that build new strategies, views and realities that allow us to create a fairer world. 
• Developing materials in different supports that provide emancipating, mobilization, action and organization tools to people, groups and communities. 
• Elaborating quality materials through a creative and integral conception of each one of them, understanding them as a particular artistic piece and as a tool of action and social construction.
• Generating symbiosis and weaving a network between projects, people, collectives, communities and lines of thought from the past, the present and the future. 
• Promoting an open, non-exclusive, public, free and supportive conception of culture and information.

This launch is promoted by 13 Editora itself, a project focused on the development of materials of various kinds that guarantee the creation of autonomous, critical and proactive people who may put a stop to the abuses and injustices committed by transnationals and the large structures and organisms of systemic power, at the same time that they create and guarantee a fairer and more proactive world in which the planet and the rights of all who inhabit it are respected.
