New Politics actively seeks submission of online articles
We welcome the opportunity to be a site of left discussion and debate, and we are especially interested in running articles that engage important issues on the left that are in keeping with the broad democratic and socialism-from-below approach that is a proud tradition New Politics continues to embrace.

Yes, we're badgering you for money
|
We don’t send you snailmail and email requests for donations. (We’d likely have more money if we did.) Instead, our all-volunteer editorial board concentrates on producing a fine print journal and timely website. BUT once a year we launch an all-out fund appeal. This year we need $10,000, and we are counting on you to help. So please MAKE YOUR TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION
