ERA (Expression Activism) is more than a literary magazine; it’s a movement dedicated to empowering youth and inspiring the next generation of changemakers. Through art mediums, we equip young people with the tools to navigate the future while fostering a more progressive community. ERA serves as a platform for youth to express their stories through writing and art, providing a safe space for authentic self-expression. In doing so, we nurture self-advocacy, raise awareness, and amplify diverse voices and perspectives within our community.

What We We’re Looking For

We want stories with heart.

We’re not looking for just the pretty kind, drawn neatly by hand, coloured within the lines. We want raw truths. Here you have the freedom to bare your soul through words. To tell the stories the world would much rather bury beneath its ugliness; the strange and uncomfortable is bedazzling to us. We want to see the brutal nature of the heart just as much as we want to see your tenderness. We want to see your roots. Where do you come from? Where are you going? Is the path you take as beautiful and unmistakable as you are? We want your stories. We want you.

Submit to us now. We’re waiting for your stories.
