A recipient of PROMdemonium 2011 funding, the Leveller is publishing a
magazine summer issue and want to hear your story ideas!

previously contributed.

http://www.geezmagazine.org/blogs/entry/a-double-call-for-pitches-geez-23-and-24/
** 'The *Sacred Space Issue*', deadline *May 31*
How can we re-imagine and re-design our lives away from capitalist-infused
efficiency and consumption? Do our sacred spaces resemble heartless retail
structures and corporate warehouses? How can the design of our spaces
reflect a move toward wonder, mystery, neighbourliness and love?
** 'The *Privilege Issue*', deadline *August 1*
Some questions to get your ideas flowing: Are you an underprivileged or
privileged person with something to say? A do-gooder who did harm with a
story to tell? What happens when people and communities become aware of
privilege? How can privileged people work to undo or undermine privilege?
How do we avoid the trappings of privilege as activists, allies, and people
of faith? How does your faith community engage with privilege?
