Write for Rebel Youth! A Call for Submissions

How should you kill time under quarantine? Write for RY-JM!

With the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, almost all of Canada is idling under quarantine. As of now, numerous cities, provinces, territories, and First Nations have declared a public health state of emergency. Several schools and universities in the country have closed; restaurants, cafés, stores and other businesses have either closed their doors or reduced their activity and staff, if they are not temporarily laid off, are forced to work from home. All public political and cultural events, demonstrations, rallies, and meetings are cancelled or postponed, thus a large portion of the population are confined to their homes.

Why not take advantage of these days in confinement to write an article for Rebel Youth or Jeunesse militante? The Press Commission is currently preparing the 25th print edition of our magazine! If you would like to contribute, please send your articles to us by April 10th.
If you need a bit of inspiration, here are some themes to help you get started:

• The struggles of young workers;
• The 75th anniversary of the victory of the people over Nazi-fascism;
• 2SLGBTQ+ struggles;
• A review of indigenous struggles and Wet’suwet’en resistance;
• Coronavirus;
• ...or whatever else interests you!

If these topics don’t inspire you, don’t hesitate to broaden the spectrum! We are always open to receiving book reviews, or articles on politics, the arts, sports, etc.

If you’re not a fan of writing, or if journalism doesn’t excite you, why not send us something artistic (poems, drawings, caricatures, etc.)? Our magazine is open to any proposals and we won’t rule out any form of expression capable of conveying the political message that inspires our magazine, namely a fundamentally anti-capitalist message that is supportive of peace, international solidarity, and youth and popular struggles in Canada and around the world.

The important thing is that you don’t hesitate to send us your ideas and submissions. We know that the youth have a lot to say, and this is the foundational basis of Rebel Youth and of Jeunesse militante: we do not pretend to be the voice of young people, but rather the voice of the youth in struggle, because we know that the youth is not resigned to its fate, but struggles on a daily basis. And these are the struggles we are committed to promoting.
