The goal of Unheard Voices

The purpose of this newspaper is to seek out the inner and under-represented voices of all of us. The goal of Unheard Voices is to share the voices of people who are marginalized in more tangible ways: the afflicted, the poor, the disabled, prisoners, prostitutes, the addicted, the elderly or the young, etc. What does it mean to live in a violent world that suppresses what is of most importance? How does it feel to be oppressed, violated, or ignored? What led the subjects to where they have arrived? What do they cherish, and how do they hope to achieve this?
Please contact us with your ideas about other unheard voices.

Where is ‘elemental society’?

It is a place where the true things we sense, and that lie deepest in our heart, have a place to be expressed and to be heard. It is a safe place for the sensitive, exquisite inner life, and our hidden, underdeveloped, beautiful voices. It contains the capacity to bring the beautiful into society—to bring deep public life into existence through its roots.

It is the way the organization of society cultivates the appreciation of beauty, intellect, and emotional depth; the way it promotes genuine relationships; the way it creates opportunities for meaningful participation.
