Paper Revolution is a group blog focusing on radical politics, social justice, economic issues, and the personal narratives and expressions of those affected by our current socio-political reality. We want to help build a space for people to read, write, and share news, ideas, art, and information, and hope you’ll help by contributing your voice.

To submit content for publication on Paper Revolution, please read this quick thing and then send us what ya got!

We’re thrilled you want to share stuff on Paper Revolution! Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when deciding the best way to share:

  • Do you want to share an article or start a discussion about a video you saw? The best place to do that is is in the forums. If the forums are missing a topic you want to discuss, let us know!
  • Do you want to write an analysis of a current event, political development, ideological position, or something similar? We’d love for you to submit a blog post or essay! Those are usually several hundred words (500 – 800), but that’s just a general rule — if it’s longer, that’s cool!
  • Do you want to promote your artwork, or share poetry or other creative writing? Hooray! Just send it to us. We’ll reply and let you know what’s happening!

  • We publish posts on a schedule, so we’ll let you know when to expect your submission to be published. Probably within a week.
  • Controversial work is often great because it can be a good conversation starter and bring out a lot of interesting ideas, but it can also be harmful or tacky in certain situations.

    Well, I see OccuApril and her U.S. Banks buddies have been successful in suppressing Occupy Wall Street in Minnesota by Redirecting the Occupy MN movement away from Wall Street, the big banks, and government corruption. This website has absolutely nothing to do with Occupy Wall Street, Too Big to Fail Banks, and the Government Corruption of Citizen United. What does Occupy MN/Mpls/StP have planned for September 17, 2012? Vegetarian Anarchy?

      1. I don’t work at US Bank anymore, haven’t since January.
      2. This isn’t SUPPOSED to have anything to do with Occupy. It’s a blog. A BLOG. With several people writing on it and submitting work. Sometimes Occupy is something some of us write about, sometimes it’s not.
      3. Clearly you know me, so don’t hide behind a fake name while you insult me based on inaccurate information and weird, stupid assumptions.
      4. Why don’t you ask Occupy Minneapolis and Occupy St. Paul what, if anything, they have planned for that date, instead of weirdly and angrily attacking us on an unrelated blog.
