In 1917
the Silent Sentinels became the first organization to picket the White House, asking for women's rights. This not only motivated people to stand up to the government for their rights, but also taught women that they could get involved and be heard.

In 2015
same-sex marriage bans were deemed unconstitutional after decades of LGBT rights advocacy. This decision is especially important because many argue that the successful use of social media websites by LGBT groups played a key role in the defeat of religion-based opposition, respresenting a new method of protesting via social media.

Now
the March on Washington returned as a peaceful protest for women's rights, tying together key parts of America's history of peaceful protests. Nearly 100 years after the Silent Sentinels, women returned to picket Washington, D.C., teaching children to nonviolently fight for their rights. r MARCH/APRIL 2017 • 27

February 11: Jewish holiday dedicated to environmental awareness
Tu B'Shevat (otherwise spelled
as Tu BiShvat) is a Jewish holiday occurring on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat (in 2017, Tu BiShvat begins at sunset on February 10 and ends at nightfall on February 11). It is also called "Rosh HaShanah La'Ilanot," literally "New Year of the Trees." In contemporary Israel, the day is celebrated as an ecological awareness day, and trees are planted in celebration.

steps to a healthier intimate relationship
BY ABBY ROSE SUGNET
According to Psychology Today, the number one predictor of a relationship’s success is trust. This includes being reliable, dependable, and a source of real support during tough times. Everything else after that is negotiable.

eating healthy
Dietician and Master of Public Health Kylie R egistered Mitchell blogs about being a non-diet dietician on her
popular blog, ImmaEatThat. She explains that there is a spectrum of how people eat, ranging from instinctive eating to disordered eating to eating disorder—and that intuitive eaters start eating at the first sign of hunger, and stop eating when they feel satisfied. Once we
FOR BODY AND MIND
process what we need, we seek nurture, deal with our feelings, and find a distractor other than food. Emotions – such as boredom, procrastination, excitement, frustration, anger, sadness, connection, anxiety and stress – too often trigger our eating habits, rather than biological hunger itself.

hunger buckets Mitchell uses a bucket metaphor in which we have two hunger buckets: one for physical hunger, and one for emotional hunger. She encourages us to inventory our buckets, and to acknowledge whether we’re using food to fill our emotional hunger bucket, which can and should be filled with life’s delights other than food. These are her buckets.
physical hunger 3 meals per day 2–4 snacks per day
emotional hunger having a job you love having a pet religion/spirituality sleep not having an exercise plan (and just moving in a way that feels good)

SPRING 2017 ABBY ROSE SUGNET
general concept
content
My magazine strives to motivate the American citizen to “do good,” providing inspirational stories about people making change, as well as ways to get involved in something bigger than the individual in tangible, realistic ways. My magazine is intended for all adults who lead busy lives but still want to find little ways to help the world around them. It’s for people who won’t take the time – or don’t have the resources – to come up with a drastic plan for how to change the world, but they still want to be a positive influence. The magazine will be published bi-monthly and its dimensions will be 7 7/8” wide by 10 7/16” tall (the dimensions of Entertainment Weekly). It will have 104 pages in each issue, which will be matte paper as thick as inkjet printer paper. The issues are sturdy, intended to be used as guides which can be stored on bookshelves as resources for many months.
Each department is dedicated to one of these themes: social justice, environmental sustainability, random acts of kindness, and loving your loved ones. The social justice department will focus on issues facing the large societies we’re a part of (e.g. national social movements). The environmental sustainability department contains ways to minimize your environmental footprint in your everyday life. The random acts of kindness department provides stories about people doing small things for strangers “just because.” The loving your loved ones department provides relational health tips and ideas for how to show you care about your loved ones. Each department will contain written narratives about relatable success stories. Features will be heavily photo-based, telling stories visually and including minimal accompanying text. Each department will also contain infographics on how much the reader’s individual actions matter, and how to adjust their actions accordingly.
identity This magazine caters to the “average American citizen,” intended to be useful and inspirational for anyone who can get their hands on it. The magazine invokes a sense of empowerment, ability, and motivation. It shows the reader that they can do something important, giving them ways to help the greater good, and showing them examples of people who are starting the movements already. The content has a subtle liberal undertone, providing some stories about social justice movements, and including tips on leading an environmentallyfriendly lifestyle. However, the magazine will not be heavily political. Rather, it will contain more tangible actions for people who aren’t politicians to be a more helpful member of their communities. The editorial content is motivational and inspirational, but also kicking the reader in the butt, encouraging them to get up and do something. Rather than just provoking thought and opinion, the content provokes action, ranging from tiny acts of kindness to lifelong positive impact. The type is big and bold, sending empowering messages. The design makes readers take the content seriously; the basic layout is sophisticated and clean, with the big messages in bright, stand-out colors. The photos are progressive and artsy, sparking creativity and ingenuity.
