With just 15 days left in our fundraiser, we need to raise at least $490 per day for the next two weeks straight to reach our goal. Please help! We can’t do this without you!! http://igg.me/at/icmag/x/2969484
There are thousands of stories from the Indigenous Peoples Movement that never seem to make headlines, whether it’s the Nasa Peoples bold removal of paramilitary forces from their lands in Colombia or the impressive occupation of Brazil’s House of Representatives by 700 indigenous leaders.
For the past 10 years, IC Magazine has sought out these stories and many others like them, because Indigenous Peoples are comprehensively ignored by mainstream and alternative media.
Now we’re in the process of registering IC Magazine as a non-profit publication in Canada, in order to
We also intend to set up shop in Winnipeg, so that we can house a small staff, along with interns involved in copy-editing, fact-checking and special projects–such as media production workshops.
In the meantime, we need to raise $10,000 by August 19, 2014, so that we can continue our operations and immediately expand our investigative journalism in part by paying writers for their work.
As an independent publication, we are relying on all our readers and everyone that supports Indigenous Peoples to contribute to this campaign any way they can. Even the smallest donation makes a difference!
Across the world right now, Indigenous peoples are facing a renewed assault on their lands, rights, and ways of life.
From extractive industries pushing deeper into ancestral territories, to governments rolling back hard-won protections,
the threat is global—and it is growing.
What makes this moment especially dangerous is how little attention it receives.
Stories like this are disappearing in real time. Mainstream media
barely covers it and the coverage is fragmented. The public is left without the context
needed to understand what is truly at stake.
That is exactly why IC Magazine exists..
For more than 20 years, IC has reported on Indigenous struggles worldwide — consistently, independently, and without compromise.
We don’t follow news cycles; we trace patterns. We don’t sensationalize; we provide context.
And when the world looks away, we stay focused.
But this work is increasingly difficult to sustain.
We refuse to lock our reporting behind a paywall. We don’t sell access through subscriptions.
And we don’t answer to advertisers. IC Magazine survives solely because readers like you choose to
support independent Indigenous journalism.
Please donate today if you can. Every contribution helps us to continue this crucial work.
Thank you,
John Ahni Schertow
Founder and Editor in Chief
