Why Issue 17 is Worth Supporting

As you will see, Issue 17 aligns directly with our vision of a Lower Midwest where

  • marginalized communities and ecologies are seen and heard
  • journalism covers and is consumed by rural communities
  • youth and students are aware of the current challenges of their neighbors and environments
  • and arts and culture are well-documented and platformed in our region

… All in 128 pages! Each of our issues is a gem, and 17 is no exception.
