Our first issue was released on May Day in 1986 and we’ve never missed a deadline from then till now. We’ve published over 2,000 authors, giving unknowns a prominent position (and many of them today are famous, some with the help of that springboard) and also many famous writers, from Woody Allen and Annie Dillard to Marge Piercy and Howard Zinn. We’ve been a leading voice for human rights, nonviolence, social justice, and environmental sanity — and have been a champion of the rights of and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians. And we’ve tried to convince liberals and progressives to abandon their religiophobia and elitism, and to speak to the American people in a language of the heart and not merely in wonkish policy terms. Our magazine has been one of the most highly respected literary and intellectual journals in the world of ideas. Please join us to celebrate!
