Subject: [dominion-writers] Turn up the heat: Contribute to The Dominion's
Climate Justice special issue

 

[Please forward widely]

In March, The Dominion will turning up the heat with our next special issue,
focussing on climate justice, and we're on the prowl for content.

We're looking for stories - articles, infographics, photo essays - that
explore the challenges folks are facing in the fight against climate change,
and the meaningful solutions people are creating. We're looking to publish a
strong mix of stories with first hand accounts of impacts from front line
communities, and to concretely imagine what "system change, not climate
change," a slogan made popular at the COP-15 in Denmark, might mean.

We are looking for stories with a Canadian angle, but strong international
pieces will also be considered. Priority is given to pieces exploring
under-reported struggles, or using new angles to understand a longstanding
issue.
