An Invitation to Join a Social Justice Project

Hello,

My name is Melissa and I am an intern at the UCSD Women’s Center. I am writing to you because I am starting a Social Justice Blog for my Gender Action Project, and I would love for you to be a part of it!

The purpose of this project, entitled “Human Writes: A Social Justice Journal,” is to spread awareness about social justice issues, to get people excited about and involved with social justice activism, and to also create a tool and resource for activism of all kinds. The blog will hopefully incorporate a wide variety of pieces including: articles, essays, stories, poems, interviews, videos, art, news, and history, into a lively and appealing website that encourages awareness, discussion, involvement, and activism. Another goal of the blog is to serve as a community networking tool in which members of UCSD and beyond can communicate regarding social justice issues, and publicize events, programs, and projects.

I would really appreciate any type of contribution from you about any social justice issue in whichever form expression you would like! Contributions can be any length ranging from 200-1000 words, can center on any topic related to human rights or social justice, and may include pictures, graphics, hyperlinks, and/or videos.

Please let me know if you are interested contributing to Human Writes by emailing HumanWritesJournal@gmail.com Please also email me if you are interested in becoming a core contributor and would like to be further involved in the organization behind this project.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or comments.

Thank you!

Melissa
