Give to The Border Chronicle on Local News Day

We’re kicking off April 9, national Local News Day, with our first-ever Spring fundraising drive to support our community-based journalism.

We launched The Border Chronicle in 2021 because we believe that the U.S.-Mexico border needs an independent outlet that covers the region with the complexity and nuance that it deserves. We report on the big issues challenging our communities, including climate change, economic inequality, border militarization and water scarcity. We also feature arts and culture coverage that amplifies the richness and diversity of border culture.

We are the only independent media outlet that covers the border region-wide, and we’re asking for your support this Spring to help us meet our fundraising goal of $10,000 so that we can hire more reporters and expand our coverage, while making almost all of our reporting free and accessible.

In the last three months, we’ve already published three collaborative investigations including a deep-dive into the Department of Homeland Security’s and the Drug Enforcement Agency's growing surveillance on residents in southern Arizona, a border-wide investigation examining the U.S. military’s takeover of public lands, and an investigation into the fate of an important DNA archive for missing migrants that has vanished.

Donate today so that we can fund more investigations like these to hold policy makers accountable and keep you informed on the issues that matter. As we enter our fifth year, now more than ever, we need your help as impunity grows and the media is increasingly under threat. Donate directly to The Border Chronicle today or make a tax-deductible donation through our fiscal sponsor Homelands Productions.

 With much gratitude from Tucson,
