ARISE is a call to action, to confront injustices deeply rooted and ever-affecting our communities. It is an attempt to open up an engaging space that will add to the conversations that educate and inspire people to act. This is the print spin-off of New Orleans Indymedia, a news and story-oriented website designed for everyone to self-publish articles, photos, audio and video for the world to see. Knowing that internet access is limited, our purpose in making this quarterly was to democratize information. (If you do have the internet, please print off copies to put in your neighborhood. We have made it free in the hopes that we can share the burden of distribution.)
