*Making Policy Public Call for Advocacy Partners is Now Open!*

CUP is seeking collaborators for the next four issues of /Making Policy 
Public/, our publication series that uses graphic and information design 
to explore and explain complex public policy issues. We are looking for 
community or advocacy organizations working on important social justice 
issues that could benefit from visual explanation.

/Making Policy Public/ uses innovative graphic design to explore and 
explain public policy. Each publication is the product of a 
collaboration of CUP staff, an advocacy or organizing group, and a 
designer. This series aims to make information on public policy truly 
public: accessible, meaningful, and shared.

Partners will be chosen with the help of a jury of esteemed advocates 
and designers. This year's jury members are Maya Wiley, Executive 
Director of the Center for Social Inclusion; Sondra Youdelman, Executive 
Director of Community Voices Heard; Prem Krishnamurthy Co-founder of 
Project Projects; and illustrator Tomer Hanuka.

Advocacy partners will receive 1,000 copies of the color publication to 
distribute directly to their constituents and an honorarium of $1,000. 
CUP will manage the research, editing, art direction, and production 
processes.

Applicants should be interested in engaging in a collaborative design 
process and, most of all, interested in explaining an aspect of public 
policy. The series defines public policy broadly. Topics have ranged 
from the barriers to re-entry for formerly incarcerated people in 
Upstate New York to domestic workers' labor rights. Although CUP is a 
New York City-based organization, submissions need not address New York 
specifically. Topics could range in scope from the governmental to the 
informal, and in scale from the local to the international. Applicants 
must be able to regularly attend meetings in New York City.

Proposals must be received by May 6, 2012, no later than 5 pm. To learn
