Have something to share? Are you involved in activism, service, or an organization? Tell us about it! Spark is always looking for new perspectives on current issues, and we’d love to hear yours! Email us at sparkpublication@gmail.com and tell us if there’s something you’d like to write a story about. Activism and change begins with awareness, so let’s all share our experiences with one another! Even if there’s just something you think WE should right a story about, let us know!
