Dear Readers,

With a new US President about to take office and social and political change in Latin America entering a new phase, the coming year promises keep Upside Down World busy. But we won’t be able to pay writers if we don’t make it to our $6,000 fund drive goal. At this important crossroads in US-Latin American relations, Upside Down World’s work is more relevant than ever. Please make sure we can continue publishing into 2009. We’re totally reader-funded. Donate today and ask your friends and relatives to contribute.

This year we received two Project Censored Awards for publishing stories on Latin America the corporate media ignored. Support Upside Down World today make sure this coverage continues.

When Upside Down World began five years ago, we never thought it would grow to be what it is today. From a small trickle of readers in 2003, we now receive more than 37,000 hits a day from readers all over the globe, many of whom are activists, teachers, journalists, experts and politicians. Donate today to keep us going strong!

This year, Upside Down World journalists have reported from the field on social change and divisions in Bolivia, environmental policies among leftist Latin American governments, the struggle of the Garifuna in Honduras, land conflicts in Mexico, the election of a new president in Paraguay and much more.

All of this writing, research, editing and publishing takes an incredible amount of time and effort, and this year our editorial collective and reporters have been more strained than ever. We remain 100% reader-supported and work together on a shoestring budget to bring you news and analysis each week. If you appreciate the work we do, and want to make sure Upside Down World doesn’t disappear like so many other grassroots news outlets, please make a donation today.

Thanks for making this five year adventure possible. With your help, with be around for another five years and beyond!

Upside Down World Editorial Collective –Benjamin Dangl, Cyril Mychalejko & April Howard

"Latin America today is the most exciting and promising region of the world. Upside Down World regularly provides a rich store of information and insight into the popular struggles that are changing the face of the subcontinent, with implications and lessons that reach far beyond. It’s an invaluable resource." – Noam Chomsky
