Dear,
friend of the Journal,
As 2021 draws to a close, it feels rather surreal that we are still living in the shadow of a pandemic. With the losses we have suffered and challenges we have faced over the past two years, it’s been easy to focus on the bad, and lose sight of good deeds all over the world.
Personally, my spirits lift every time I see everyday people stepping up and taking action, demonstrating how extraordinarily resilient we humans can be. Even in trying times, there are people doing what is right and beautiful. As climate scientist Kate Marvel said so fittingly: “Courage is the resolve to do well without the assurance of a happy ending.”
That’s exactly what we choose to do every day at the Journal with the issues we cover and the opinions we make space for. Earth Island Journal is committed to uplifting stories that often go unheard. Of course, this means speaking truth to power. But it also means centering the voices of frontline communities. It means examining how climate dangers are deeply intertwined with other issues like public health, inequity, and racism.
Show your support for deeply researched, fact-based
reporting by making a tax-deductible donation to our
Green Journalism Fund before the year ends.
The challenges we face are real and big, but we can’t allow them to overwhelm us. The world isn’t beyond recovery. But it does need us to muster the courage to keep pressing on. The good news is that multitudes of brave souls are doing just that.
Because you value independent journalism, and uplifting stories from around the globe, I’m asking you to please support us today with a donation of any amount.
