Please send us a copy of anything used in the above fashion. Raindrops In our previous issue we announced our involvement in planning a center. That became the Center for Appropriate Transport (see p. 54). This project, directed by Jan Vander Tuin, is under the Rain Umbrella, a non-profit organization more recently revived than the magazine itself. It has taken some extra effort on our part to work on Jan’s wonderful project, but the results have already been well worth the work. The center’s deep commitment to alternative transportation and community has made it one of the most energetic activist spots this town has seen in years. The center’s success has allowed us to reconcentrate our energies on this periodical, so perhaps it will soon come out more periodically. There are many millions of people trying to push past these trying times towards something better, and we’re excited to find out what they're up to. Contributor’s Guidelines Rain may print two types of material: 1. Articles of varying length on successful projects and initiatives that are of community-scale. That means things that a group of people can just get up and do. That means no: grand political schemes, state-reform bills, authoritarian programs, or corporate public relations. Please try to pry principles from the experience that will make the piece useful to other activists. If possible, please query with suggestions before embarking on writing. Enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Good photos and/or artwork must be arranged for the piece. Black and white or color prints that are, if possible, at least 5x7, and artwork of black and white lines, no grays or halftones. 2. Notices, press releases, announcements, access to resources in areas of interest, and items for review. Below: Mobile bicycle workshop for kids at a festival in Berlin’s Wall Park, Prenzlauer Berg. See page 30.
