Children of War
Submission Ideas and Requirements
The idea for this portion of the website came in the summer
of 1997 from Haley Ansil. She wanted to share a prayer she had
written for her father with our internet visitors.
We feature children's drawings, poems, prayers and letters
they write to legislators in our newspaper, the Razor Wire,and
on our website. Sometimes a child will write an imprisoned parent
a letter that will make a "free citizen" that is visiting
our website, pause and take notice. Feel free to send us such
correspondence if you would like it posted on the internet or
published in our newspaper.
We also feature articles that have particular focus on children
who are direct victims of the drug war, such as teenager Ezekial
Hernandez, shot and killed by Marines while herding his goats.
The Marines thought he was a drug smuggler.
You may make an electronic submission of writing, but we prefer
to scan material in the children's handwriting when at all possible.
Visitation photos with their imprisoned parents make a welcome
addition to both website and the newspaper, and can accompany
anything that the guardian or parent and child want to submit
for consideration. Please include permission for us to make this
submission public.
To make an electronic submission, email: editor@november.org
Send "hard copy" of children's submissions and photographs
