It’s Getting Hot In Here

(Written by the Sierra Student Coalition Publishing Group)

For those of us in school, the semester is coming to a close and our student organizations are wrapping up projects for the year. We face the next academic season with the full knowledge that we are entering an era of new politics and new opportunities, and that many decisions await our communities, our campuses and our nation. As we expand the scope of our movement and the impact of our work, we are beginning to recognize the diversity of our own stories: the victories that we have won and the setbacks we have encountered, the hopes and fears for our future, and the strain and joy of pushing a country forward.

The Sierra Student Coalition Publishing Group invites the youth movement to share your personal stories throughout the coming year – starting now. Fill out our brief questionnaire with your group or as an individual as you reflect on your semester along with the challenges and the victories that it presented. We want to publish and distribute your stories to inform and expand nationwide dialogues among youth on what we have done and how we have done it. This is your opportunity to help other groups learn from your successes and challenges without having to re-invent the wheel, so to speak.

The SSC Publishing Group is a contribution-based peer-to-peer open-access media venue that publishes and documents material for and from the youth movement to make powerful information resources, literature and campaign materials widely available in various formats. Documentation and publication of the youth movement’s efforts plays a vital role for the movement as a whole. If you are interested in becoming a member of a team devoted to further establishing the literary heritage of this movement, contact us by emailing publishing@ssc.org or check out the SSC’s leadership opportunities.
