Dear Friend of the Journal,

Newsrooms across the country are shrinking. Corporate mergers and hedge fund ownership have forced publications to cut thousands of jobs over the past decade, all in the name of profit. To this day, despite the critical need for more informed reporting on the fate of our planet, environmental coverage is often the first to get axed.

As a nonprofit, Earth Island Journal is driven by purpose, not profit. That’s why we are asking you to donate to our Green Journalism Fund.

If you can’t give $15/month, even $5/month — about the price of large coffee — helps cover the costs of reporting on environmental movements around the world.

We don’t have a paywall, and we don’t clutter our articles with ads. We also publish all our print features online for free, and we publish new stories on our website between print issues.

A reader once told us: “You have such a big voice even though you are small.” It’s true, we are a small operation, but we aren’t afraid to take on powerful interests. We take pride in being small but mighty.

Our strength lies in our community of readers like you. We’re in this fight to build an equitable and healthy world together, and we’ll succeed together.

Your support is essential to the future of investigative reporting on the fight to address climate change, preserve nature, and protect communities and wildlife across the world.

Please take a moment to become part of this mission by donating today.

Thank you for reading. We appreciate your continued support.
