American Farmland Trust

Donate to American Farmland Trust

Since 1980, American Farmland Trust has led the movement to protect farms and keep farmers on the land. Every day, 2,000 acres of American agricultural land are paved over, fragmented, or converted to uses that jeopardize farming. What’s at stake? Nothing less than our future. If we let farmland loss continue, it may permanently change what and how we eat and threaten a way of life for ranchers, growers, farm families, and all Americans. No Farms, No Food: At American Farmland Trust, we believe that regenerative agriculture practices transform agriculture, making our food production resilient to climate change impacts. We have helped to permanently protect 6.8 million acres of US farmland and ranchland and led the way for the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices on millions more. Join us today and keep the bounty strong!


Earthjustice

Donate to Earthjustice

For 50 years, case by case, Earthjustice’s lawyers have fought for our planet and won. We’re tackling the climate crisis now, in the courts and on Capitol Hill, and your gift can help us push for bold and equitable solutions. Donate $20 or more to support this critical work—because the earth needs a good lawyer.


KIND

Donate to Kids In Need Of Defense

Support Kids in Need of Defense, a nonprofit organization devoted to the protection of unaccompanied and separated children around the world. We provide free legal representation for refugee and migrant children across the US and serve over 6,000 children annually. We have connected tens of thousands of children—and their caretakers—with essential medical care, mental health care, educational opportunities, and crisis intervention to ensure their safety and well-being. Together with our supporters, we work every day to protect unaccompanied children on the move. Will you stand with KIND and support refugee children in need this holiday season?


The World We Need

The World We Need

The World We Need provides a vivid introduction to America’s largely unsung grassroots environmental groups—often led by activists of color and the poor—fighting back in America’s so-called sacrifice zones against industries poisoning our skies and waterways and heating our planet. Edited by journalist Audrea Lim, this one-of-a-kind anthology features art, interviews, and frontline reporting about movement workers and everyday people defending their communities from the Arctic, to the South Side of Chicago, to Vieques, Puerto Rico, and so many places in between. Published by The New Press. All proceeds from book sales go to the Climate Justice Alliance.

From the final book by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue, detailing her life’s work fighting for gender equality, to The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice, which tells the story of the massive mutual-aid network of volunteers who banded together during the pandemic, these books will inspire meaningful change for a better tomorrow.
