HopeDance publishes special supplements periodically. This is the second of an ongoing series. We have also decided to split the current HopeDance magazine into two publications. One will be a local tabloid covering the progressive community in the tri-county area of Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo. The other one will be the magazine format that will feature special issues, book & video reviews, and sustainability and social justice activist columns. It will be quarterly and will be found on newsstands throughout the country or by subscription ($15).

Please let us know what you think of this special supplement. For $2,000 you can get 10,000 copies shipped to your area for distribution.
