The geese have been flying overhead by the hundreds, signaling a cold and early winter.

Migration can mean life or death for many of us who inhabit Earth. Whether we are birds flying South for the winter, or people fleeing war and violence, migration is a necessary part of existence.

Some of us have migrated willingly, tracing the paths of the birds with our palms, while some or us have migrated because we had no other choice.

We want your story. Tell us what migration sparks in you. Submissions open January 1st, 2026.
