Stories are our superpower and your story can help us sow the seeds of change.

At BLAC, we work on a variety of issues across Appalachia and the Midwest, with storytelling being at the heart of our work. If you had a microphone and a soapbox in front of the world, what would you want them to know? (Stories about your life, your kids, what makes you mad, what brings you joy)
