Dear Readers,
As you may already know, Intercontinental Cry launched an Indiegogo campaign last week to raise money for the launch of our ninth anniversary magazine and to help us pay a hefty bill that we got shouldered with after a botched deal with a major US radio station.
So far, ten people have donated to the campaign including Tiokasin GhostHorse of First Voices Indigenous Radio, two of IC’s very own sustainers and two members of the Media Coop. We also just got word that the owner of Kendrick Printing–the company to which we are currently in debt–has decided to donate to the campaign as well.
We are very grateful and honoured for each and everyone of our donors, but we can’t stop there. We have to keep moving down this road and we need each and every one our readers to help push us.
If each person who read IC this month donated just $5 to our fundraiser we would have about $197,000. Fortunately, we only need a tiny fraction of that.
And so I offer this humble appeal: If you find value in the work that we do, please head over to indiegogo today and donate whatever you can! You can donate through paypal or with a credit card http://igg.me/at/people-land-truth
Or, if you want to help us on a more long-term basis, sign up to our sustainer program! https://icmagazine.org/donate/
Good people, after nine years, it’s time to bring IC to the next level! The global indigenous movement is growing with each passing day and we must grow with it.

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
