Subject: [CT-NFB] Federationist Issue

 

Dear Federationists,

 

I hope you’re all doing well. It’s that time of year again—yup, you guessed it—time to submit those articles for The Federationist. For this issue, I’d like us to focus on diversity and intersectionality. Intersectionality is a core component that combines different aspects of a person’s identity such as race, gender, etc. Now more than ever, diversity is so important. Everyone is unique and the more diverse society gets, the more we will be exposed to opinions that differ from our own. Diversity can reduce racism and discrimination, give a more colorful life experience, and build a more balanced world.

 

As I’ve said before, and will continue to say, everybody has a voice that matters, and everybody’s voice is valued regarding this topic. Whether you’re white, black, young or old—no one is exempt. So tell me your stories. How do all these aspects—race, gender, disability, age, sexuality, etc—intersect with each other?

 

This is a powerful topic that is close to my heart as well as others, and I am so proud to be working on it with you all.

 

Please send your submissions to me at editor.fedct at gmail.com <mailto:editor.fedct at gmail.com>  by Monday, November 30. <x-apple-data-detectors://1>  If people feel uncomfortable writing their pieces, I would be more than happy to conduct an interview with you. And based off of questions I’ll ask you, I can write something up myself. Just contact me (off list), and we’ll work something out.

 

Best,

Bri
