The Blog that Started It All!

At The Magpie, every story is a treasure.

We see storytelling an act of resistance against the continuing legacy of colonialism, and we hope to tell as many stories as possible. We hope this blog can be both a brave space where people can ask hard questions and get hard answers to think through; and a safe space where you can learn about the many amazing projects and initiatives that organizers are doing around the world.

If you would like to contribute to The Magpie, please email our editor Emma: ekrbuchman@gmail.com. If you would like to contribute to our series-in-progress “Where Were You When?”, please follow this link.
