Enact Social Change

Lately over at The Warrior Poet Group, Rod, Dave, and I, in addition to discussing the nature of literature and writing in general, have decided to take up the cross of social change as part of our mission. In addition to adding several groups to our website in the hopes of supporting them and raising awareness, we've decided to also start up a blog, called Warrior's Song. The focus of our blog is to act as, to use Rod's words,

a platform to enact change when we otherwise might not know how. There are a lot of things I'd like to see change in the world, but I'm not always sure where to start or what to do--a problem I don't think I'm alone in. The blog will 1) help us feel like we're doing something when we're at a loss of what else to do, and 2) keep action on our minds.

Our goal at WPG, then is two fold: ensure the advancement of literature despite heavy competition from marginalization and mainstream media, and do so while supporting institutions that value the earth, as well as humanity as a whole. Hopefully, our mission will infect all of our friends, and a true literary and cultural revolution can begin to take hold. So if you have a moment, add our blog to your RSS feed, and maybe you'll see something that will help either yourself or someone around you.
