Friday Favorites

by Kelly Knight, Marketing Manager for The Good Table

Community

One of my favorite things these days is Substack, a platform for journalists and writers to distribute and get paid directly for their writing. It takes out the middleman, and allows that community to benefit from the folks who’d like to support them.

In honor of this, I’d like to share some of my favorite posts on social justice and community from the last couple months. I’m hoping you’ll discover some writers you like, and some communities or movements that are new to you.
