See the latest actions taken by SEJ advocating access to environmental information, press freedom and supporting the media's right to know on behalf of the public, including opposing federal worker nondisclosure agreements, condemning the arrests and harassment of journalists at Newark's Delaney Hall, urging the Veterans Administration to stop investigating its employees for speaking to the press, condemning the ICE arrest of a Nashville journalist Estefany Rodriguez, urging strengthening of New York's FOIL and condemning the arrests of journalists Don Lemon, Georgia Fort.
Member-to-member help is an important part of SEJ's mission to improve environmental journalism, and that's what our mentoring program is all about. We pair veteran environmental reporters with newcomers to the beat, university students, or with less experienced reporters who want to improve their skills. Apply to be a mentor or mentee. You must be an SEJ member. Not a member? Join us.
Layoffs, political pressure and a tidal wave of disinformation threaten environmental journalism today — but SEJ is here for the reporters on the front lines. Help us keep fueling the journalism our communities depend on. Support SEJ

"Here is what I believed when I was president, post-president: The nation needs a free and independent press. And the reason why is, is that power can be very corrupting and we need a press corp to hold politicians to account, including me. And ya, I didn’t like it sometimes when people said things about me, but that’s the job." — Former President George W. Bush on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," March 2, 2017
