| SUBMIT TO SHARED SACRIFICE WRITERS, ARTISTS WANTED BE PART OF AN ORGANIC, PROGRESSIVE ONLINE JOURNAL |
The intensification of local, national and global politics necessitates a forum for thoughtful
political analysis; intense debate over visions, strategies and tactics; and the building of a
pluralist progressive community of activists, scholars, and journalists. This necessity to seize the
political moment and shape the coming political epoch inspires our decision to launch Shared
Sacrifice: The Journal of Progressive Thought.
The journal will offer progressive dialogue as a new model for the exchange of political and
cultural thought. In addition to enjoyable and thought-provoking essays, in-depth news analysis,
and cultural reviews, our site will be unique in its facilitation of national and international
dialogue between activists, progressive political candidates, and writers and critics. The site will
feature an activist calendar and message board, and we plan on hosting robust and relevant
debates as an ongoing feature of the site. Although our primary form of discourse will be
written, we will supplement text with voice and image, including podcasts of essays, videos of
commentary and events, and even editorial cartoons.
If you like to write, draw, think and/or speak, you should get in touch with us fast. Due to the
success of our internet radio show Shared Sacrifice, the site will have an instant readership
which will only grow with time. Today’s volunteer submissions and positions will become
tomorrow’s paid work as the site becomes economically self-sustaining.
What we need:

What we need:
- Writers: We plan on posting ten or more new articles per week, including contemporary
political analysis, policy and movement advocacy, reviews of movies, books, theater,
music and more, economic analysis, and reports of political activity anywhere and
everywhere. Writers may contact Matt Stannard to receive an assignment, or submit
unsolicited manuscripts. - Editors: While we will not edit content once we have accepted a submission, we will edit
for style and mechanics. Time permitting, editors may work with writers to improve pieces;
in deadline situations, editors will clean up pieces for posting. Editorial experience is the
edge for those seeking to break into the writing and publishing business, so this may be a
valuable opportunity for many of you. - Advertising Sales Reps: We will offer a variety of advertising options for clients who are
comfortable with the political and cultural perspectives of the site. Our goal is to make
the site and its parent organization economically sustainable within six months. We seek
confident people to help us sell ads for what will be an exciting, well-traveled site. - Exposure and Support: Listen to the radio show visit the site and comment on the
content. Send the links to the show and the site to as many people as you can. Help us
link up to thousands of blogs, political sites, and message boards, to promote our model
of dialogue and sacrifice across a wide spectrum of progressive-minded communities.
