Our journalism has always sought to expand the perimeters of the possible. Today, this is needed more than ever. But globalization and nationalism aren’t opposed to each other; they work together to immiserate people. We’re told there are just two political choices out there: globalization – governance by fans of free markets like Clinton, Macron and Blair – or nationalism, as represented by Trump, Modi and Bolsonaro. 

We’re launching a Patreon account so you can help us show the world that there is another way: internationalism.

- Launching a new podcast, CONTESTED LEGACIES, that looks at the lives of people like Gandhi, Rosa Luxembourg and Hugo Chavez to work out what lessons we can learn from the past.

- Funding investigations on our website into places overlooked by the mainstream, as we’ve done so far on Diego Garcia and Bahrain.

- Helping us cover breaking news on social movements, as we did for Extinction Rebellion.

If you become a patron, you can choose from one of three tiers:

Join a $3 tier (£2)

Join a $16 tier (£13)
You’ll get everything in the previous tiers as well as a print and digital subscription to New Internationalist magazine.

Since 1973, New Internationalist has used an internationalist perspective to make sense of the world. In our debut issue, we interviewed Zambian president Kenneth Kaunda about his programme to lift Zambians out of poverty. Over the years we’ve produced impactful journalism that helped edge real-life victories, such as halting the construction of a dam in the Peruvian Amazon and a $96 million pay out to blacklisted construction workers in 2016.

But we need to do the hard thinking about what internationalism means today. The world is no longer so easily divided between the colonizer and colonized; once-poor nations like China and India are keeping the world economy afloat and as climate change is undoing our assumptions about how development can lead people out of poverty. 

So, alongside that short-lived gym membership, do something else with your New Year’s Resolution: help us build a 21st century internationalist media.
