This month Provoketive Magazine is pleased to announce we're trying something new.  In partnership with some great authors, we're hosting a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/114506961937378/" target="_blank">Synchroblog</a> on the subject of Hope.  January is often a space to create new dreams and so we're leaving the topic open and to your imagination. We believe the power of voice has tremendous capacity to inspire and give hope to people. A Synchroblog is a collective response to a particular topic.  Everyone writes about the same issue and then links to each other's post.  The deadline for participating is January 18th, 2012.
