Here's how you can help
journalists like Emilio:
Give to SEJ Programs to support essential training, resources and convening, such as:
- Annual Conference events like "When the Smoke Clears: Forests, Carbon and Climate"
- SEJournal resources like "Funding Initiative May Help Surface Overlooked Environmental Justice Stories" and "Exploring the Impacts of Hydroelectric Megaprojects on Indigenous Lands"
Give to SEJ's Fund for Environmental Journalism to support small story grants, such as:
- "Charity Appeal in Guatemala, Where the Fight for Land and Water Rights Is a Battle for Survival," by Richard Brown for The Guardian
- "The Fight To Save Ecuador's Sacred River," by Mélissa Godin for TIME
- "Mexico Is Phasing Out Imports of Glyphosate and GMO Corn. Supporters Say That Could Reverse Years of Damage From U.S. Trade Policy." by Simran Sethi for The Counter
Give to SEJ's Conference Diversity Travel Fellowships to help cover the costs of registration, travel, lodging and other expenses of Diversity Fellowships. Here’s what past participants had to say:
- "I would not have been able to attend without the SEJ/Uproot diversity fellowship, and I am truly grateful for it as this is easily the best conference I've been to as a newer journalist. I am truly grateful for the program and hope it can be expanded so even more people, who otherwise would not be able to, can attend."
- "As an emerging freelance photojournalist in the midwest I have limited resources and opportunities to attend conference. This limits my ability for professional growth and networking. I would not have been able to attend the workshop without the Uproot Project Fellowship."
Give to the SEJ Members in Need Fund to help cover fee waivers and other costs of participating in SEJ programs, for members experiencing financial hardship.
