About Green Left Weekly

Green Left - Australia's leading radical newspaper

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.

Green Left Weekly aims to provide a much-needed forum for discussion and debate about changing the world. By giving a voice to progressive ideas, by sharing a wide range of views, by linking issues, campaigns and activists, and by letting people know how they can join with others to take action for change, the paper contributes to the development of a more just and democratic world.

Most importantly, Green Left Weekly is a campaigning paper: it helps strengthen the anti-racist, feminist, student, trade union, environment, gay and lesbian, civil liberties and anti-imperialist movements by linking the issues and activists, and by letting people know how they can join others in action for change.

Green Left Weekly is your paper. As a grassroots publication, it thrives on your input. If you, like us, believe that what we think and do makes a difference, why not get actively involved? As well as reading it every week, you can write draw or photograph for it, help publicise and distribute it or support it financially by making a donation to the annual Fund Appeal which makes the production of the paper possible.

If you want to get in touch with the campaigns we cover, or if you just want to know how you can help change the world, get in touch with your local distribution centre.

Don't just get angry. Get informed. Get involved.
