Introducing the Solidarity Sub
Dissent has always been more than just the sum of its writing. It is a political community, across several generations and at least as many continents; a forum for debating visions of social change; a vehicle for advancing radical and egalitarian ideals.
These are the enduring ideals of the left—our striving for social and economic equality, our faith in our collective ability to enact democratic change. Over several decades, some of the left’s sharpest writers have given voice to these ideals in our pages.
Dear Reader,
Dissent has always been more than just the sum of its writing. It is a political community, across several generations and at least as many continents; a forum for debating visions of social change; a vehicle for advancing radical and egalitarian ideals.
These are the enduring ideals of the left—our striving for social and economic equality, our faith in our collective ability to enact democratic change. Over several decades, some of the left’s sharpest writers have given voice to these ideals in our pages.
We want to continue to be the voice of the democratic left for generations to come. But we won’t be able to do it without you.
For $10/month, become a Solidarity Subscriber.
You’ll receive your usual subscription (four issues per year), plus an online gift subscription to give to a friend and invitations to special events. Our first event, only for Solidarity Subscribers, will take place on May 5: contributing editor Timothy Shenk will interview historian Eric Foner about his new book, Gateway to Freedom: The Hidden History of the Underground Railroad.
As you know, important ideas don’t publish themselves. Putting out a magazine costs money; it takes time and care, a whole lot of arguments and red ink, and countless cups of coffee. So much of what we publish is available for free online—our labor podcasts, our cultural criticism, our reported articles from abroad—and we want to keep it that way.
Sign up now, and help us to continue the “steady work” that Irving Howe began.
In solidarity,
Kaavya Asoka, Michael Kazin, Colin Kinniburgh, Mark Levinson, Natasha Lewis, and David Marcus
