Fund the Fight
PULSE of the Great Lakes is independent journalism rooted in the Basin—the water, the people, the ecosystems, and the fight to protect all three. We publish the stories no one else is telling: from the Rights of Nature movement to Indigenous Voices, from housing crisis to the radical joy of loving where you live.
When you make a purchase or donate, you're not just supporting a magazine. You're keeping this work alive—and making sure the Great Lakes have a voice that's as fierce and deep as the water themselves.

Twenty-one percent of the world's fresh surface water sits in the Great Lakes Basin Region—and every month, we pack a piece of it into an envelope and send it to your door. A story. A postcard. Original art from a Basin artist. A sticker. A surprise. And somewhere inside, a Blanding Turtle that makes one member the recipient of that month's free gift—ranging from gear to a free trip within the Basin.
100% of profits defend this water. The Great Lakes are ours to defend, or they are ours to lose. The choice is yours. First monthly mailing, June 2026.

Support the Foundation
Love Where You Live Foundation is built on the belief that healing, justice, and protection of this place we call home are not privileges—they are human rights. Your donation directly funds the Bring the Love trauma-informed training, Indigenous boarding school survivor testimony, Great Lakes Basin advocacy, and manufactured housing defense through Keep Our Homes.
