A birthday coming up

The 200th issue of Green Left Weekly will appear on August 28. It will be a special birthday celebration issue.

Since Green Left first rolled off the presses in February 1991, it's been acclaimed in Australia and around the world as one of the most exciting left journalistic projects for decades. The range of local news reports, analysis, debates and reviews is unsurpassed. Our extensive international coverage has been essential reading for activists in Australia, and has also served as an international news service for activists around the world, whether directly from Green Left or through circulation on the Internet.

To celebrate our 200th issue, we want to publish a range of views, comments and experiences from our readers in Australia and internationally. How have you found Green Left Weekly? What do you like most about it? How has it helped your particular struggle?

An indication of the appreciation and usefulness of Green Left Weekly from our readers will provide encouragement to the many supporters who sacrifice their time, energy and money to ensure that Green Left appears each week. It can indicate to our readers the real impact Green Left has in other cities and beyond our shores. It can help reinforce the essential feelings of solidarity between the struggles in different communities, in different cities, and even in different countries. And it can help build the links and connections between the environmental campaigns and all the struggles for social justice.

To be included in our 200th special issue, your comments should reach us by August 14. Green Left Weekly — it's your paper. n
