Join the Deceleration family of supporters!

A message from our founders

Thank you for your interest in Deceleration! We are a nonprofit journal of environmental justice rooted in San Antonio and serving the greater South Texas bioregion and beyond. Deceleration is growing a community of friends and supporters committed to interrupting the gathering climate crisis. At the same time, we are growing ideas and tools to collectively build a healthier and more resilient future for all our inter-connected and inter-dependent relatives.

The work involves reporting on local and regional struggles for climate justice; hosting livestreams and podcasts that profile activists, scholars, and artists; convening community discussions and skillshares to move from knowledge to action; building a digital hub for educator resources at all age levels; organizing an annual print journal and bioregional convening, and more.

Your support allows us to deepen in this work in a number of ways, including simply keeping our lights on (our home office is solar powered, but we still get a utility bill every month). Your support is also used to host events, compensate panelists, grow our staff, and hire talented independent researchers for original reporting and analysis that aligns with our mission. Thank you for your interest in a better future for the Earth and all of our families.
