Sometime in February 2024, IVEJ's Executive Director told me about an idea: a free community-driven social justice magazine that brings crucial information to Imperial Valley residents. By December 2024, we were getting ready to print our first few thousand issues.
When this project first kicked off, I had an outline of approximately 8 stories that were going to be written by existing IVEJ staff. What ended up happening was a wonderful collaboration with 30 contributors and 8 local artists that resulted in a 130-page magazine dedicated to making information about Lithium Valley accessible to residents.
Something to note: typesetting for the magazine was done exclusively by Mike Ramos.
