We are The Changing Times
We invite the stories, images, brush strokes, and poetry of those who love this earth, feel grief at the loss of it, and are excited to shift the status quo towards more sustainable ways of living.
The Changing Times is a biannual publication of Families for a Livable Climate inviting community-wide response to these turbulent and revolutionary times. We collect and share contributions from people of all ages and backgrounds from across Montana and beyond. This is a space where we share their stories, their responses to the climate crisis, their love for this world around us, and ways for everyone to get involved in answering the call to change.
We need you, the artists, writers, activists, and innovators, to inspire and guide us during these unprecedented times. With your creativity, your passion, and your energy we can change the narrative from the ground up.
Our hope is that the many voices and varied content of The Changing Times can play one very small part in the incredible cultural and spiritual shifts unfolding on our planet.
Joy is a Radical Act - Spring 2026 Issue
For our next issue of The Changing Times, we are focusing on the theme of Radical Joy—the fierce, grounding happiness that blooms even in challenging times. How does joy show up in your daily connection to nature, your work toward a better world, or the simple experience of being alive? How does playfulness deepen your relationship with the earth, your community, or yourself? Share your expression of what it means to find and nurture joy as an act of renewal, resistance, and hope.
Submissions in any creative form are welcome. This can be essay, short story, poetry, painting, sculpture, and more. Thank you for sharing your story on the vitality of public lands for people, community, and climate.
