“WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Dear friends, allies, and supporters,
We would like to formally ask for your help and participation in building this movement. There are several ways that you can help.
SUBMISSIONS
We need contributors of writings, articles, position papers, essays, media reviews, artwork for future issues of this publication project. We anticipate publishing on a tri-annual schedule, at least for the first several issues. Any work submitted to Resistance Ecology for publication will not be used in any other way except with permission of the owner.
Currently, we do not have a projected date for our next issue, so we do not have a projected deadline for submissions. Nevertheless, we want to start seeking submissions sooner rather than later.
We would appreciate any and all proposals of content for this publication. Below is a list of topics that we would be interested in publishing.
DONATIONS
In addition, any monetary donations made to us would be gratefully appreciated. This publication is one of several projects that we are trying to start and maintain as essential components of movement building, and we face a lot of costs. We are in the process of filing for 501(c)3 status with IRS, and any donations made to us in the interim are considered tax-exempt. If you are able, anything helps. Please email us for further information about how to make a donation. Also, if you would like to take out ad space in future issues of the publication, please contact us and we can discuss details.
NETWORKING
Lastly, we are in the process of compiling information to build a network and map of grassroots organizations around the United States and Canada. We are trying to publish this to serve as a means of opening communication and shedding light on our collective existence. We hope it will be used as organizing and network building tool. If you are a organizer or member, or know of a particular organization that you think should be listed, please send us an email with the contact information of the group in question.
Thank you for your support,
Resistance Ecology
