Originally, sanctuaries were natural locations, such as groves or hills where the divine or sacred was believed to be especially present By the use of such places as a haven, the term has come to be used as a place where someone or something is protected or given shelter, as refuge or safety from pursuit, persecution, or other danger, typically used by displaced persons, refugees, and homeless people.

This is for call content. But it’s not a call for just any kind of content. This is a call for specific content, from specific people. This is a call for content from the lonely, the misunderstood, the anxious, the hopeful, the misgendered, the marginalized, the radical-in-other’s-eyes-but-not-so-radical-in-your-own, the politicized, the relatively unscathed, the visionaries. 

This is a call for the unspoken memories, the thoughts that run rampant, the words that went unsaid, the spiral after spiral, the dirty, the clean, and the (absolutely) in between, the revolutionary, but then again, not so revolutionary after all. 

In the midst of crisis, we seek to inspire and bring beauty to the foreground.
