Here's how you can help

journalists like Amy:

Give to SEJ Programs [2] to support essential training, resources and convening, such as:

• Annual Conference [4] events like "Covering Gender and Environment Connections, at Home and Abroad [5]" and "Podcasting Across Divides and in Community [6]"
• SEJournal resources like "Disinformation Presents New Challenges to Environmental Journalists [7]"

Give to SEJ's Fund for Environmental Journalism [2] to support small story grants, such as:

• "Indigenous Women Battle Growing Amazon Violence With Trauma Center [8]” by Melissa Godin for Thomson Reuters Foundation
• "Saving Oregon's Rocky Coast: To Help Black Oystercatchers, Groups Push for Education — And a Few New Rules [9]" by Kate Kaye for Jefferson Public Radio and Oregon Public Broadcasting
• "(Un)Covering Oil [10]" by Antonia Juhasz for KGNU

Give to SEJ's Conference Diversity Travel Fellowships [11] to help cover the costs of registration, travel, lodging and other expenses of Diversity Fellowships. Here's what past participants had to say [12]:

• "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 [2] to help cover fee waivers and other costs of participating in SEJ programs, for members experiencing financial hardship.
