Editorial Policy
Articles appearing in Real Change reflect the opinion and perspective of the author. We encourage the submission of journalism, opinion, fiction, poetry and artwork, and hope to create a forum where the many perspectives that exist regarding poverty and homelessness can find expression. The editorial committee reserves the right to edit any material for length and style. Articles considered libelous or which encourage violence, sexism, homophobia, or racism will not be considered for publication.
Real Change would like to convey its deep gratitude to the staff and board of the Pike Market Senior Center / Downtown Food Bank, Jim Reitz at the Archdiocesan Housing Authority, John Reese at the Community Action Network, all of our advisory board members, premiere issue endorsers, and everyone else who believed in this project early on.
