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.

Public Lands, Publics Hands - Fall 2025 Issue

For our next issue of The Changing Times, we are focusing on stories of public lands and their importance to us as Montanans. Are you a current or former federal employee who worked on public lands? Are you a hiker, biker, trail runner, climber, backpacker, birder, angler, hunter, rockhound, rafter, horse rider, packer, geocacher, photographer, writer, poet, artist, or nature-lover? We want to share your stories of public land use and why public land matters. We want to gather our collective grief, anger, and reverence for wild places under threat.

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.
