as of June 1st, 2025, we’ve moved our news outlet to substack.
Dear readers,
We started this project with a commitment to sharing non-paywall news and feature stories, because these issues we cover matter at an existential level for our shared landscapes. And, because we know knowledge has the power to effect change.
However, despite two years of outreach, recognition from experts and seasoned journalists, and consistent reporting, we have yet to secure funding to compensate our contributing storytellers, editor, and field documenter.
We need your support now more than ever to keep this project going, so we can speak truth to power together.
Thank you for your continued readership,
Jen Caudill
Founder & Executive Editor
