Support Alborada
Please consider supporting Alborada’s independent journalism by contributing a regular amount each month or making a one-off donation – and just sharing this appeal is also greatly appreciated.
Since Alborada launched in July 2009 with a documentary screening on Brazil's Landless Workers’ Movement (MST) we have provided a platform for documentaries, organised and supported hundreds of talks and published countless articles on Latin American politics, media and culture.
We have partnered with diverse media outlets through our involvement in the Progressive International and the Independent Media Association – both of which do fantastic work to promote media democracy and the grassroots reporting to which we are committed.
We couldn’t have done this without the many wonderful writers, journalists, activists, campaigners and filmmakers who have contributed along the way.
But we hope to achieve more. Which is why we’re now asking for your support.
We currently have ambitious plans to take Alborada to the next level but need more resources to achieve them. As such, we’ve launched a fundraising drive for regular financial contributions, with the aim of reaching 100 new regular supporters. With your help, we believe we can get there – and hopefully beyond.
These funds will help us to:
- Keep publishing high-quality journalism, whether through original articles, translating articles from Spanish or Portuguese or promoting the work of our partner organisations and other independent platforms
- Organise physical and online events on Latin America
- Devote the necessary time to ensuring that independent journalism can thrive under the increasingly challenging economic and political conditions which we face nowadays
We have hosted over 20 online events since the pandemic began and maintaining a regular programme of Alborada Online events is high on our list of priorities – this allows us to reach audiences far beyond our own communities. Anyone that donates at least £2 per month or makes a one-off donation of £25 or more will be added to a special email list that receives priority booking for our online events and is offered free tickets to our Alborada Online events.
As the mainstream media comes increasingly under the control of powerful corporate interests, the role of independent journalism has never been more important. You can support us through regular contributions each month or a one-off donation – the choice is yours. Either way, you will help ensure that independent voices continue to be heard.
Gracias!
