ISSUE 2025.YEI

2025.YEI is an Open Call

No theme. Just truth.

EASTSIDE Magazine is accepting submissions for 2025.Yei, dropping this July! We're keeping it open and intentional because our community doesn't fit into neat boxes, and neither should our stories.

Right now, when so much is working to divide us, we’re choosing to listen, uplift, and reflect the powerful voices of East San José and beyond.

We’re calling on YOU: writers, artists, poets, photographers, storytellers, and community members. What’s on your heart? What do you need to say right now? Let this issue be your platform.

Most of our operating budget—smaller than what most mainstream magazines spend on a single issue—comes from the generous contributions of people who believe in our mission. The money we raise goes directly into improving the magazine and elevating the stories of our Eastside community.
