Dear Friend of the Journal,

Today, Earth Island Journal kicks off its first Summer Member Drive. For the next two weeks, we will supplement our regular newsletter with highlights from some of our most powerful stories. We hope these stories inspire you to join our other Green Journalism Fund donors.

You might not know who we are yet, depending on how recently you signed up. Please allow us to introduce ourselves:

Maureen Nandini Mitra (left) is Editor of Earth Island Journal. Zoe Loftus-Farren (center) is Managing Editor. Brian Calvert (right) is Associate Editor. Together, we have reported on environmental issues in the United States and beyond for more than 55 years.

We’re responsible for setting the mission and vision of our scrappy magazine that seeks to educate and inspire action for a liveable world. We work to ensure our readers regularly hear from us via newsletters, that new articles go up on the website, and that the magazine’s print and online editions offer stories, news, and views that inform and inspire our subscribers.

As you can see, we’re a very small team with a big mission. We run a tight ship, so a little bit can go a long way at the Journal — even $5/month helps support our work. Or, for a $20 annual subscription, you will get four issues of our award-winning magazine ($25 for international addresses).

Our goal is to help our readers understand environmental challenges from a wide range of perspectives. From the personal to the political. From the local to the global and everywhere in between. In order to do that we spend quite a bit of time educating ourselves as well. We learn from journalists, grassroots activists, and communities from all across the world, and we always seek to amplify their voices.

We love the work we get to do.

When you give to our Green Journalism Fund, your tax-deductible donation funds the journalism in our magazine, website, and newsletter. It’s that simple. Every dollar goes back into the Journal, not billionaire owners or hedge funds.

We'd love to have you in our community. Won't you join us?
