CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Don't Leave Your Friends Behind #4

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:

Don't Leave Your Friends Behind a Handbook for Radical Parenting Allies


Deadline: September 15, 2010!


Don't Leave Your Friends Behind is a book geared toward the non-parent radical community about how to be an ally to the parent(s) in their midst.


This book is going to be a collection of some of the best minds out there. We're looking for activists, allies, and radical parents to submit the most kicking stuff to make this the best book ever for getting down to business: let's make a better world WITHOUT leaving out the mamas (and papas, partners, child-care providers) and children this time!


We want to know how you do support children and their caretakers in your collectives, organizations or communities.


Parents: What concrete things can those around you do to support you and your family? Send us your list of suggestions!


Radical Childcare Collectives: What are your concrete tips on how you organize with your collective? How do you organize childcare?

We are especially interested in experiences that also take into account factors such as race, class, gender, single parenthood, immigration, disability, and/or mental health issues.


Word limit is from one sentence suggestions to 5.000 word essays.


E-mail questions and submissions to:

Ahh, a subject close to my heart! I just put this on my list of things to do this summer--once I can obtain child care, of course.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. If finding big blocks of time to write is an issue (which it is with so many parents and caregivers), we also welcome lists and shorter pieces.
