Dear Friend of the Journal,

The Journal team will be taking this Friday off for Thanksgiving, so you won't be receiving our regular Friday newsletter.

But before we go, we wanted to let you know that we truly appreciate you and your support of Earth Island Journal. In these uncertain times, it’s reassuring to know that the Journal community is tied together by shared values and a sense of responsibility toward one another.

Thank you for helping our community grow by reading and sharing stories with friends, family, and colleagues. If you haven’t met us yet, please allow us to introduce ourselves:

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

As you can see, we’re a very small team with a big mission.

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 to billionaire owners or hedge funds.

We run a tight ship, so a little bit can go a long way — even $5/month helps support our work.

We wish you a safe holiday weekend that is comforting and restorative. Thank you for reading and sharing,

Maureen Nandini Mitra
