Calling all artists!

Calling all creative writers and artists!
The Midwest Blog is starting something completely new!  Starting in May, we’ll be starting weekly blog updates focusing on issues most important to the food movement.  In addition, we’ll be keeping tabs on all things Midwest and updating y’all what all you fabulous activists are doing in your communities.  To do this, we need your help!

Each week, we’ll address a different issue and investigate it from at least two perspectives.  The inclusion of multiple perspectives is an integral aspect to understanding the issues facing our food system and we hope you’ll help us by commenting on this entry with ideas for issues and topics to address, in addition to the contact information for people you think would be good collaborators for this weekly project.

In addition to these weekly blog posts, we’d like to put a spotlight on the art of the youth that’s really making an impact on the success of the movement.  Email your poems, stories, editorials, drawings, paintings or anything else to Midwest@realfoodchallenge.org and we’ll post it on our brand new Art page, in addition to featuring you on the blog’s main page with a brief bio of you and what you’re doing on campus.

Other ideas for the website? Leave them in the comments!  We’re looking forward to utilizing our blog to its fullest potential and continue interacting and working with the youth activists of the Midwest.

Peace,
Ashley
